The Nice Guy Trio 
"Best Jazz/Blues Band of 2008" - SF Weekly

Founded in early 2008 by powerhouse trumpeter Darren Johnston, the group features accordion ace Rob Reich and well-traveled bassist Daniel Fabricant exploring a heady mix of original compositions and classic tunes by the likes of Charles Mingus and Ornette Coleman. Steeped in jazz, the protean combo creates playfully virtuosic music that references genres like klezmer, blues, funk, calypso, country, Balkan and Hindustani music while existing outside of any particular style or tradition.
