LP and the Vinyl - Heard and Seen (2020)

The San Diego-based band recorded the debut album over two days at Tritone Recording, setting out to document a mix of their intricately arranged material, with more spontaneous, on the spot arrangements. The album blends together their unique take on songs they love with their original work. A huge hit with our Summer Concert Series attendees, we are excited to be a part of their album release.

Along with renowned jazz, blues and gospel singer Leonard Patton, the critically acclaimed San Diego-based Danny Green Trio took on the moniker LP and the Vinyl to explore and reimagine the songs of pop greats, jazz standards and their own originals. Songs like David Bowie's "Life on Mars," The Beatles' "Fool on the Hill," and Oasis' "Wonderwall," take on new life with captivating arrangements and free-flowing improvisation, while "Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise" and "My One And Only Love" receive modern rhythmic updates. Green offers his own "The Lonely Band" - with lyrics by Patton, and "Night Waltz," contributing the newest works to this collection covering nearly 100 years of American popular song. With Patton's infectious charisma, the extraordinary interplay between Green, bassist Justin Grinnell, and drummer Julien Cantelm, and the band's search for new routes through known music, LP and the Vinyl's riveting appeal makes "Heard and Seen" a compelling and fun listen.
