Hello,

I have sad news on the passing of Phoenix Az Jazz & Gypsy Jazz guitarist Chris
Alan Daniels.
Chris passed away Friday, July 11th in Phoenix surrounded by his family. Chris
had a short
and courageous battle w/ cancer. Many may not know of his contribution to GJ
because of his
low profile, not traveling or recording much, with the exception of him
performing at DFLA.
Chris is also known by many from his fine paintings including the Django '53 oil
print that
many have hanging in their homes and studio's. Chris was the most determined,
committed
guitarist I have have ever had the pleasure to be a friend and band mate with
for 8 years. I
will miss him and regret we had such a short time together as brothers...
Not only was he a fine skilled and talented musician and artist but a
philosopher and
mathematician that would challenge the sharpest of wit's...
Dunn, Collins, D'Angelico, Gibson, Gitane, and Yamaha guitars were graced by his
touch and
passion for music...

Latcho Drom Chris...

I'll miss you brother and value the time we had together on this planet...

Allin Kibben
