Criss Cross Jazz 1299 CD
Danny Grissett
Encounters
Available: February 18, 2008
Pianist Danny Grissett,
known for his work with Nicholas Payton, Tom Harrell and Vincent Herring,
continues to deliver on the promise of his aptly-titled
2006 Criss Cross debut as a leader.
Featuring the same line-up as Promise -
sensitive but effervescent bassist Vicente Archer
and the equally intuitive and vibrant drummer Kendrick Scott -
Encounters finds this young trio mining
an interesting mix of original material and jazz standards.
Running the gamut from elegant balladry to grooving soul-jazz and unshakable
swing, all with a modernistic approach to harmony, rhythm and composition,
the Danny Grissett Trio ensures that modern acoustic jazz
remains alive and moving forward.
