In July 2007, the Dan Karlsberg Group released their first album, The Adventures of the Dan Karlsberg Group, for which Marc Medwin in Cadence Magazine comments:
“This is a group functioning on the highest level of communication and commitment… they tackle freedom and restraint with equal vigor, convincing on whatever musical front they choose.”
Karlsberg has since released three more albums as leader, Mission to Mars and Other Short Stories (2010), The ‘Nati 6 (2015), and Tales from the Winter Solstice (2018). Tales, Karlsberg’s latest release, features JD Allen on tenor sax in a piano – drums – sax trio. The ‘Nati 6 features a group created by Karlsberg to perform his original music and to showcase the talent and traditions of the Cincinnati jazz scene. The ensemble is made up of veterans on the Cincinnati jazz scene today. In 2015, CityBeat magazine nominated The ‘Nati 6 for “album of the year”.
