Danny Hull started out playing sax and blues harp around the San Jose area in the early 1970's and in very short order was in high demand with many of the serious players of Northern California. Danny played blues and jazz fusion with the likes of Russ Ferranti, (currently of the Yellowjackets), and guitarist Robben Ford. He then went to L.A. to record an album and tour with Buddy Miles (Electric Flag, Jimmy Hendrix.) Danny also recorded with Jimmy Messina (Loggins & Messina) and Delaney Bramlet (Bonnie & Delaney). Danny then came home and founded The Danny Hull Quintet which was the power fusion band in the Silicon Valley for the late 70's and early 80's. The group's name was later changed to Spangalang featuring the vocals of Tony Lyndsay (who later would sing for Santana). Danny's singing and saxophone playing became well known around the South Bay area, mixing his favorite styles of Rhythm and Blues with some Jazz elements. The resulting musical style became a template that many groups would try to emulate. Danny's reputation grew and he started getting invitations to play with more national acts. He created the signature lines on albums for Eddie Money, Michael Bolton, Eric Martin (Mr. Big) and Journey and was just back from touring with the Michael Bolton Band when he got the call from his old friends in The Doobie Brothers. He spent most of the ninety's back touring and recording with The Doobies. website
