Description
Pianist Danny Grissett, known for his work with Nicholas Payton, Tom Harrell and Vincent Herring, continues to deliver on the promise of his 2006 Criss Cross debut as a leader. Featuring the same lineup 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.
