Warner, who was often the musical director of the Latin Grammys Person of the Year gala, was also widely beloved, generous with his time, craft and support of fellow musicians, big and small.
“Dan was one of these guys who really was like a gentle giant,” said producer and engineer Carlos Alvarez, a good friend who first worked alongside Warner for Julio Iglesias two decades ago. “To date, Julio still looked for him, which is saying a lot. Dan’s heart was as big as he was. He was, for many of us, a rock. Musically, it would be easy to just say he was a world-class musician. But he could be transparent and present at the same time.
“Dan was like a brother to me, he was a real friend,” said producer/songwriter Sebastian Krys. “My favorite description of his playing came from the late singer-songwriter Soraya. She said, and I’m paraphrasing: ‘He has notes on his guitar that aren’t on mine.’ He was also universally loved and respected which is very rare in this business.”
R.I.P
just insane to even be reading this. Dan was a big inspiration during my UM studies, just the fact that this amazing player was so cool and would talk to you and play with you got me totally geared up. He will be missed by many! Thanks, Dan, Godspeed!
