Dan Forshaw is one of the most passionate and charismatic musicians on the British Jazz scene. Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, Dan studied in both London and New York and has played all over the world with many different ensembles ranging from jazz quartet’s to cathedral choirs. He is one of the UK’s leading experts on John Coltrane and has written a number of published articles on the music and theology of ‘Trane’. Tim Price, Professor of saxophone in New York and a former teacher of Dan said, ‘Forshaw has reached a strong level of musicality, depth and technique that very few players have….he is a breath of fresh air, ‘hear him!’
Dan grew up in the small Lancashire fishing town of Fleetwood. Opera star Alfie Boe lived a few doors away from Dan and music was a big part of Dan’s childhood. In his youth he performed for Royalty, U.S. President Bill Clinton and for the opening of Tony Blair’s first conference as Prime Minister! Dan was taught by Ray Wilkes, a legend on the Northern Jazz scene and a former member of Cedar Walton’s band in New York. Dan started picking up gigs aged 14 and by 16 Dan was on the road with the ‘Amazing Blues Brothers Soul Revue Tour.’
After meeting Branford Marsalis at the RNCM in April 2003, Branford invited Dan to study with him in the USA, which Dan did in March / April 2005. Whilst in New York, Dan was inspired by the many amazing musicians he heard & upon returning to England, he moved to London in the summer of 2005. Dan’s target was to return to New York, but meeting and marrying his wife Katy led to a move to Belfast in 2007.
Cambridge and beyond…Dan is now based in Cambridge where he teaches saxophone through his award-winning website, Cambridge Saxophone.com. Dan still maintains an active performance schedule with regular tours, residences and his ‘Jazz Vespers‘ project, that has seen Dan on Prime Time National TV, (BBC One,) leading jazz events at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Ely Cathedral and the at new home for Jazz Vespers in London, Methodist Central Hall, Westminster.
Dan is an active ‘Vlogger’, (his KZread channel now has over 8000 subscribers in twenty countries), and he enjoys photography, sport and most of all spending time with his young family.

Congrats on the signature mouthpiece Dan- sounds terrific! My family and I were on holiday to Paris at that same time- so hot!!
Awesome, I am getting the Mornington Lockett Alto for me, but that is huge great player you are teaming up with a great company
Thanks for the vlog Dan! Just ordered one and used the code!!
PS. Dan My dad was at Omaha beach he was in the Royal Navy_and helped American troops he was on MTB boats. He was commanded by Peter Scott the famous naturalist who was his commander during the war. I have a certificate of commendation I see escorted Prince Bernard of the Netherlands during the war. I never knew this until the end of his life. Thank you John for your enthusiasm and reviews and thank you for your interest in those who protect this country during the war. God bless you and yours. Bill - UK
Thanks for the promo code Dan, just ordered mine in 7* bright orange with a flashy green lig, exact opposite of my soprano Syos bought a few months ago
I see you had an amazing trip. Can’t wait to see the Selmer experiences 👍🏾🎷🙏🏽
Hi Dan...great stuff. I've got a Syos on order and it was nice to see their operation. Congrats on becoming a Syos artist. I'm also reading James Holland's Normandy 44 and just finished the chapter on Howard's raid on the bridge. Great book so far. Seeing how close his glider actually landed to the bridge was eye opening. That was some great piloting. Looking forward to more content.
Really fun to follow you on this trip Dan!
Thankyou...i just ordered the mouthpiece you played ...
Dan I just got your SYOS mouthpiece, and I’m getting definitively the best sound that’s ever come out of my saxophone. Well done

Nice one Leo - send us a recording sometime!
I got one of your SYOS signature mouthpieces and love it! Nice open, warm sound with a bit of edge when pushed. I ordered it in black, though - nothing too flashy of course.... jk I love the piece -
Dan have you reviewed the Selmer concept mouthpiece thanks. Bill
I've just ordered with your promo code. Lets see how it is ;-)
Dan, I have been following your SYOS mouthpiece reviews and journey to your own signature mouthpiece. Thank-you for sharing. I play a tenor Otto Link STM NY 6*. Would you say that your DF tenor SYOS would have a similar feel (dimensions) in the mouth to the Otto link STM?
Hello Dan, thanks for your blog. I am an asthmatic since early on. I just bought an alto and started learning and playing. Could you suggest a certain mouthpiece to me, an asthmatic, because naturally I just don't have enough lung power as let's say, Coltrane...
yes, yes, yesssss!!
I read on some posts that say that the Syos mouthpieces have a rough finish is this true ? Is it noticeable when you play them?
I don't quite get the SYOS brightness scale. Your mouthpiece is shown as one of the darkest mouthpieces they have, with very little power. But it has a step baffle. And you don't sound dark sounding at all... A little strange.

Jan J they seem to equate “brightness” to chamber size and “power” to baffle height and length
The hotel room might have been tiny, but at least you could wash your hands without getting out of bed!

@@DanForshaw Hi Dan, i received my mouthpiece..Ended up getting a 6*. Tried different reeds and some sounded too thin and some a bit too gravelly, finally got a set of D'addario Select Jazz filed 3S and suddenly the mouthpiece came alive and full of colour. Really easy and inspiring..Just wondering if going to 3M would be any different? Just wanted your opinion, and i know it is just personal taste , What advantage would or would not be ..Value your opinion..Thanks Brian...
I first visited Paris as a tourist (on a European bicycle trip) in 1966. Then in the 70's my wife & I visited Paris where we recorded back-up vocals for pop-hit-record. We lived in southern France for 5 years in the 80's, where I taught English and did a lot of busking. Nice memories. What are the specs for your SYOS mouthpiece?
In my opinion I think the colored mouthpieces look like a toy
