Paragraph.
“The Gleaners” by Larry Grenadier feels like a peek into a private world as if you’re discovering the poems of a great writer who was known only for his essays. For much of the record Grenadier focuses on arco playing, showing great range: He can use the bow to create spritzed, lively rhythms or a luminous, slow immersion. Abstraction would seem inherent to a solo-jazz-bass performance, but there’s nothing dreamlike about this album; his sound is as direct and powerful as it is elegant.” – Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times Here, another widely admired exponent rises to that ultimate challenge, with the latest in ECM’s long-standing series of releases featuring unaccompanied bass. Larry Grenadier, a strong contributor to groups led by many others, most prominently Brad Mehldau, has spoken of his relish for bass players’ commitment to adaptability, and to making everyone else sound good, but here he digs into his own most deeply felt music.
