Danton is also highlighted on the DVD The Roy Hargrove Quintet – Live at the New Morning, which has inspired generations. While living near Los Angeles at the age of 16, Danton had the good fortune to begin studying the doublebass with legendary bassist “Senator” Eugene J. Wright of the iconic Dave Brubeck Quartet.
