Alto Saxophonist Trey Daniels’ multi-faceted artistry is influenced by an old school Gospel Jazz vibe. Although having played every Sunday when he was growing up, at New Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in his hometown of Tampa, the spiritual side of Daniels’ musical soul comes from an even deeper place than most Christian-raised musicians. Born at two lbs., 8 ounces, as an infant he was unable to use his own lungs to breathe – so, he says, “It’s truly a miracle that I am able to do what I do today, and a testament to the grace of God. It’s also the reason I am able to play with such passion, energy and honesty.” Those characteristics have been part of Trey’s musical life from the beginning until now.
