Harold Danko - Spring Garden

'Spring Garden' celebrates the abundant musical seeds planted more than a century ago by Igor Stravinsky in the Rite of Spring. Pianist Harold Danko's liner notes reveal his long-standing fascination with Stravinsky's masterpiece and details involved in the creation and recording of this ambitious project.

While he has arrived at his own sound, there's still a sense of adventurousness and discovery about Danko's approach to music...Danko is fundamentally a deeply lyrical and swinging pianist, who combines the virtues of inside and outside playing, and he is still perfecting his music, learning new ways of approaching it. It's a process that started long time ago. - Jakob Baekgaard, All About Jazz

Personnel: Harold Danko (piano), Rich Perry (tenor saxophone), Jay Anderson (bass), Jeff Hirshfield (drums)
