DAN LIPTON is a musical chameleon whose dynamic career straddles the uptown/downtown divide. A songwriter/composer, arranger/orchestrator, ace pianist and lover of backslashes, Lipton\'s work bridges pop music, film scoring and theater.

He appears on the latest album from feminist hip-hop trio Northern State (Ipecac Recordings)... he has backed singer/songwriter Lucy Wainwright Roche all over NYC and on XM Radio... his playing and songwriting are featured on the new album from theater singer Lauren Kennedy (PS Classics)... he surfaces regularly in downtown clubs with both Brazilian groove chanteuse Eliane and folk/soul songwriter Dina Dean... he spent two years touring with Brooklyn indie rocker Matthew Pop.

Dan Lipton\'s most recent album of original songs and music is ZEITGEIST, a collection of collaborations with today\'s most exciting musicians and vocalists in classical, pop, jazz and theatrical music. (It has nothing to do with the latest Smashing Pumpkins album; Lipton\'s was released in late 2005.
