Liner Notes
Grant's music cues the imagination. I love the variety. I enjoy that I can't anticipate where the next beat is going to be. His music is suspenseful. If I were driving and listening to this I would have no idea how I got from A to B. "The Saddest of All Keys" has a warm synergy of notes and keys. Sometimes I feel like the right side of my brain is listening to it seperately from my left side.
"How I Wish..." has a sexy beat - perfect for a catwalk with the supermodels strutting their stuff. "Dealing with the Unexpected" is lovely and moody. Harold Todd is amazing, and Harold and Grant work very well together. The way Grant's fingers move on that bass, you'd think he had three hands! "Epistle" is a great touch to end the album with. It's the sort of song that gets played at the closing credits of a movie while the audience sits there in awe.

If you need proof that the traditon of Jazz is still vital and not only in the preservation sense, buy Epistle.
This album takes us from the spiritual "Upper Room" to urbane "Kennsington" and to the material world "CatWalk".
However being a song writer and sometime jazz singer myself I caught jazz-standard refrains of many tunes rifting through the jams. If you like a Marcus Miller feel, then hear this letter of proclaimation.
You will be glad you tried Grant Clarkson's CD and this will no doubt bring you, like me, back for more of his music.

No Jive!

This album stands apart from almost everything else I've heard here. Not only is Grant a great bassist but the music is unique and pleasing. Instead of doing discount pop music, these guys are heavies. Very happy with this discovery!
