"Drummer on Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" lp and the Peanuts TV soundtracks, cited in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the inventors of psychedelic music, pioneer in world-jazz fusion and electro-acoustic percussion in the hippie era, founder/co-director of the music department at Boulder's Naropa Institute in the '70s, longtime associate of Mose Allison, Jane Ira Bloom, Glen Moore, Dave Friedman etc., and with a string of wide-ranging projects under his own name in the last 20 years, Jerry Granelli has been on the scene for so long - as percussionist, teacher and bandleader - that there may be a tendency to take him for granted."
This album, recorded live 2006 Atlantic Jazz Festival, features a great band including the hot guitar duo of David Tronzo (electric slide guitar) and Christian Kögel (electric guitar), bassist J. Anthony Granelli and Jerry himself on drums and steel sculpture. Jerry is obviously an elderly man, but he plays like a young buck on this and the band kicks! Playable on any player, but will give really amazing sound (and 5.0 sound) when played on a SACD player. A great price on this double hybrid SACD!
“The results are astounding … adventurous listeners and avant guitar fans should definitely check [this] out.” — All Music Guide [****]
