Danny Green Trio
A rising force on the jazz scene, Southern California pianist and composer Green has distinguished himself with his beautifully articulated touch and melodically charged sensibility. Signed as an Origin recording artist in 2014, Green’s growing portfolio of vibrant sounds has garnered multiple awards and captured the attention of critics around the world. His work has been featured in the San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, and Public Radio International. His trio, including bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, are one of the most lyrical jazz groups on the West Coast, and were a featured group at this year’s San Jose Jazz Summer Festival.
