 | | Description: | Danny Grissett is definitely one of today's most exciting and respected pianists. The go-to keyboard man for the likes of Tom Harrell, Jeremy Pelt, Wayne Escoffey and others Grissett also finds time to lead his own groups and is a composer of considerable merit. A rare artist who grips and holds attention, Grissett handles the classics of the American songbook with an aplomb equal to the way he deals with the rather complex structures of his own intricate compositions. A gifted improviser with splendid technique, the pianist can also offer warmth and affection in melodic lines, the balance of fine taste, pungent swing and a jubilant approach inevitably generating audience cheer. For his first recording as a leader for Savant, Grissett and company offer a varied and interesting set-list which mixes jazz standards and some of the pianist's own compositions.Recorded April 19, 2017."Remembrance" is a CD by acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Danny Grissett, released on the respected jazz label Savant. The album presents a refined and deeply musical journey that balances lyrical sensitivity with modern harmonic sophistication. Grissett's playing is characterized by a warm piano tone, clear melodic lines and an effortless command of complex rhythmic and harmonic structures. On "Remembrance" he creates an intimate atmosphere in which each piece feels like a personal reflection, alternating between tender ballads, thoughtful mid-tempo pieces and more driving, contemporary jazz moments.
The production values are focused and audiophile-friendly: the piano is captured with clarity and depth, while the ensemble sound leaves space for every instrument to breathe. Listeners who appreciate modern acoustic jazz rooted in tradition but open to the present will find in "Remembrance" a nuanced, long-lasting listening experience--ideal both for concentrated listening and for creating an elegant, sophisticated mood.
Danny Grissett is known on the international jazz scene for his tasteful, intelligent playing and his work both as a bandleader and as a much-sought-after sideman. He has collaborated with notable jazz musicians and built a reputation for combining technical mastery with emotional depth. His compositions and arrangements are marked by a fine sense of form and subtle dynamic development, which also shape the musical narrative on "Remembrance". For jazz fans who appreciate artists capable of combining tradition with a contemporary voice, this album offers an excellent insight into Grissett's artistic world.
