Michael Grange___The Grange/Music You Can't Refuse
on Dapper Deer Records, available through this web
site.
Michael's newest CD features his great melodies and
guitar playing on self-penned cuts like Applehead, Twitch, Twilight,
Umbrella Man and the Baked Potato Blues. The music goes from Jeff
Beck style fusion (Twitch) to Larry Carlton-quality ballads (Reel
Pleasure) to screaming jazz rock. The CD opens and closes with
nylon string with orchestra versions of Nino Rota (Godfather score)
songs. A truly great California-style eclectic jazz mix from one
of Los Angeles' best guitarists. Mike regularly plays to packed
houses at some of the better clubs in Southern California like
the Club Caprice and the Baked Potato.
He packs his bands and his CDs with some of the very
best young jazz players in Los Angeles: Larry Klimas and Vince
Denham on sax, Bob Harson and Bernie Dresel on drums, Brad Cummings
and Mark Goldberg on bass, Chris Barron and Steve Weingart on
keyboards and John Pickell on percussion. These guys are simply
top tier players, and they get a chance to unwind on Mike's records,
which makes for punchy, energetic music that sounds more human
than most of todays over-produced new jazz discs.
