peter beautifully focused, melodic, and meditative -- spacious without wasting a single note or second. 10/10!!! Favorite track: Slow Walk.

Nickie Harte Kelly These are very cerebral peregrinations featuring this fine acoustic and electric guitarist. The themes are pastoral, and evoke the beauties of the Northern California coast. The music is minimalist and hypnotic, with delicate percussion, bass, clarinets, and pedal steel for ornamentation to the central meditation of the guitar at it’s core. Favorite track: California Angelica.

chamber pot blues This is really good. There's no shortage of folks with guitars droning out and I think this one stands out from the rest. The lovely addition of clarinet improvisations seals the deal. Have a great day everyone. Favorite track: California Angelica.

about

The bones of a bird, stripped of flesh and feather, give no sign of the heights and depths a living bird can reach, the lengths it can travel, or the songs it can sing. The same is true of the bones of the human hand. For all their strength and delicacy, seeing them skeletal and stark obscures our knowledge of the rhythmic energy with which they engage space, the burdens they can bear, the music they can produce. Yet, in both bird and hand, the foundation of grace and motion remain. Music above all else proves this to be true. To experience a guitarist playing is to experience the hand taking flight.

This flight is the essence of all Danny Paul Grody’s work. His compositions seem to be the sonic tracings of migrations patterns. They grant us that avian instinct to simply take to air and trust our innate knowledge of the route.

"Arc Of Day" is Grody’s first collection of new music since his self-released "Furniture Music II" in 2021. Born of explorations with Rich Douthit on drums & percussion, the album charts a path from grief and isolation to re-emergence, picking up Trevor Montgomery on bass, Chuck Johnson on pedal steel, and Jonathan Seilaff on clarinet along the way. "Arc Of Day" not only encapsulates the journey from bone to flesh and feather, it renews the listener like birdsong in Spring after the long Winter silence.

-Donal Mosher-
