About Daniel Dufour
Dufour’s official biography describes an Austin-rooted drummer, composer, bandleader, and educator with performance and teaching work across Texas. It dates his sustained Austin practice to 2012; the University of Texas faculty directory lists him as a lecturer in drum set.[1][2]
The artist and university biographies distinguish Dufour’s leader work from his session and sideman activity. Both document four albums under his own name, while the university profile identifies recording credits including Pete Rodriguez’s Caminando Con Papi and the 2024 releases Elias Haslanger Meets Mike Sailors and Aubrey Logan and Her Bigger Than Average Band.[1][2]
Dufour’s site also documents performances for the PBS programs South Texas Jazz Project and Jazz Tonight. Its discography and video sections provide artist-hosted recordings and performances, including original tracks and collaborative sessions rather than an undifferentiated streaming search.[1][3]
