Larry Grenadier Thesis

michaelstory · #1 03-23-2009, 01:05 AM

Hi everyone,

I have finally put up my thesis I did on Larry Grenadier on my website.

The title is "Larry Grenadier's Contribution to Collective Improvisation within the Brad Mehldau Trio" and can be found at www.michaelstorytrio.com/larry.html

It features full transcriptions and analysis of his playing during the Art of the Trio volumes with Brad Mehldau.

I hope it can be of use to players who are really into his playing, and hopefully prompt further study.

I can't say I am fan, but I have to agree with his assessment of Peacock with Bill Evans. Trio '64 doesn't get enough love!

Amen to that! Gary's sound on that album is just ridiculous (in a good way).
