Dan McCarthy (vibraphonist)
Dan McCarthy is a Canadian jazz vibraphone player who often crosses over to pop and folk music.
He studied with Don Thompson at Toronto's Humber College before moving to New York in 2004 to further his jazz career.
He has performed or recorded with Don Thompson, Pat LaBarbera, Ingrid Jensen, Myron Walden, Robin Eubanks, Jeremy Steig, Terry Clarke, among others.
He has an endorsement deal with Innovative Percussion Mallets, based in Nashville, TN.
Dan "gives new visions of the mallet instrument... The trio plays every selection as if it were the last opportunity—with deep feeling, expectancy and freedom—the very things that makes jazz so appealing." (All About Jazz, June 18, 2006)
