Faulk was born in 1969. In 1992, he recorded Focusing In for Criss Cross Jazz. It was a quartet recording, with Barry Harris (piano), Rufus Reid (bass), and Carl Allen (drums). Four years later, Faulk recorded another quartet album – Spirits in the Night – this time with Myron Walden (alto sax), Joe Martin (bass), and Jorge Rossy (drums). It contained covers and Faulk originals. His third album as leader, Dan Faulk Songbook, Vol.1, was recorded in 2002.
