About "Not So Old School"Playing for years on other musicians’ projects, Dan Fornero decided it was time to create an album of his own. Starting out as a set of basic grooves, Not So Old School pays tribute to many of the funk, rock, and pop stars that have inspired Dan over the years.
In Dan's own words:“[Not So Old School is] something I could leave behind that says a little about who I was. Sometimes showcases me, sometimes doesn’t. . .but always includes horns.”
