Dan Siegel (born in Seattle, Washington) is an American pianist, composer, and record producer. His earlier music has been described as new age, while his more recent work has been called contemporary jazz.[1]
Music career

He went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, then studied at the University of Oregon. After college, he started recording his own compositions. He signed with the jazz record label Inner City Records and recorded his first album, Nite Ride (1980). His second album, The Hot Spot (1982), reached the top 10 of the jazz chart in Billboard magazine.[2]
He moved to Los Angeles and composed music for movies and television. In 1986, he signed with Epic Records and released a series of smooth jazz albums.[2]
In parallel he produced and recorded three albums with the fusion/mainstream band Birds of a Feather—Birds of a Feather, Above the Clouds, and Stand Together—and released the self-titled album by the band Future Prospect.

Siegel's work as a television and film composer includes the score for the film Reform School Girls (1986), and Universal Studios television series, Hard Copy (1987). He has also worked as musical director and conductor on the late-night CBS TV show Overtime... with Pat O'Brien (1990). He has played on numerous television and film projects as a session player, including the Oscar-winning film The Usual Suspects.
