Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Cleveland-based Jazz Guitarist & Composer Dan Bruce of Ohm! We talk about his new trio, the debut album The Architects, and his creative life in jazz.
Following two critically acclaimed releases with his ensemble :beta collective, this new album — out October 31, 2025 via Shifting Paradigm Records — explores funky grooves, jazz/rock fusion, and deep improvisational energy. It’s music for listeners who love surprises, bold textures, and dynamic interplay.
Known for both fiery improvisation and thoughtful composition, Dan Bruce has established a distinctive voice in the modern jazz landscape. After a decade shaping Chicago’s vibrant scene, he’s now based in Cleveland, balancing performance, teaching, and composing.
