Info zu Let the Music Happen

With six releases as a bandleader, acclaimed pianist and composer Danny Green turns inward for his solo piano debut, Let the Music Happen. The album grew from the simple realization that some of his most inspired playing comes when there is no plan at all, when discovery takes over and the music finds its own way. Recorded over two days, Green brings together recent compositions and favorite standards, along with a freely imagined arrangement of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life,” revealing the melodic imagination and expansive pianism that runs through his catalog of work. Moving effortlessly between intimate reflection and flights of dazzling invention, Green creates an intriguing program filled with personality and warmth.

“…a marvelous composer, a weaver of fantasies, and splendid narrator of tales.” – Travis Rogers, Jr., The Jazz Owl

"Green is a melodist, one of those folks who creates tunes that are at once completely new and yet deeply and intimately familiar." - Hobart Taylor, KUCI

Danny Green
Pianist and composer Danny Green has garnered a reputation in the jazz community as an emerging artist whose music sounds simultaneously seasoned and fresh. Showcasing a brilliant blend of jazz, Brazilian, Latin, and classical elements, Green's music engages listeners with evocative melodies and infectious rhythms. According to JazzReview.com, "Danny Green is what evolution in jazz is all about, expressing the traits of those that came before him, with a style and panache that is all his own--an individual who expresses what is inside of him."

The Danny Green Trio, comprised of Green, Grinnell, and Cantelm, released their album entitled After the Calm on OA2 Records in November 2014. Featuring ten of Green's compositions, the album won the 2015 award for Best Jazz Album at the San Diego Music Awards.

Green is also highly devoted to music education. In addition to teaching private lessons, he is a faculty member of the annual Jazz 88.3 Summer Jazz Workshop, directs the jazz combo at Coronado School of the Arts, and presents a jazz appreciation workshop at elementary schools as part of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library's outreach program. Green has also taught piano courses at Grossmont Community College and San Diego City College, and has been an artist in residence at Canyon Crest Academy and at CSU Summer Arts Monterey.
