Hey friends I just want to say thanks for all the love and support during this crazy musical journey.
I’m fortunate to have been nominated alongside some of my jazz heroes and winning a GRAMMY®️ this Sunday feels surreal.
I hope it encourages musicians to put their music out there and and keep this category alive and vibrant by submitting albums for consideration.
This weekend was very special as I got to share it with family, friends and the most precious musicians.

Making music together is never just about sound — it’s about people.
It’s about those standing beside you on stage, the quiet conversations between notes, and the unspoken trust that lives in the spaces in between. It’s connection, it’s love, it’s listening as deeply as you play.
With the Nicole Zuraitis Quartet, the music feels like a living, breathing dialogue — each voice distinct, yet inseparable from the whole.
At the heart of it, Dan Pugach — a Grammy-winning drummer, composer, and bandleader, and 5× Grammy nominee — shapes the music with a rare balance of precision and imagination. As the creative force behind award-winning projects and acclaimed recordings, his musical voice is felt far beyond the drums, guiding the ensemble with vision, depth, and an unmistakable sense of storytelling.

Pulling 18gr of @sweetleafnyc slap shot on my new @ecmespresso Synchronika II w/flow control which I’m new to and pre-infusion which I’m also new to.
Upgraded from a @profitecespresso Pro 300 which I also love and will fix

Also the music is my big band air @nicolezmusic singing @sbloomberg grampa song As Long As I Know Where You Are #danpugachbigband #jazz #drummer #composer
