Dan Montgomery is an upright and electric bassist, vocalist, composer, and educator based in New York City. He is originally from Rochester, NY, and spent several years in Miami, FL, where he attended the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music.

Dan’s debut album Storyteller received a 4.5/5 star review from All About Jazz, and was heralded as, "a brash, audacious offering of classic modern jazz." It featured nine of his original compositions as played by a quintet comprised of musicians he met while studying at the University of Miami: Sam Priven (alto sax), Neil Carson (tenor sax), Jake Shapiro (piano), and Evan Hyde (drums). Dan recorded his second album, Fly, with the same band, which features more of his original, folk-influenced instrumental jazz music.
