LP And The Vinyl’s debut album, Heard And Seen, released on Origin Records April 17, 2020. The album features original arrangements of music by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, David Bowie, and Oasis, as well as two of the group’s original songs, and jazz standards. The music was recorded over a span of two days at Tritone Recording in Los Angeles. Commenting on the recording session, pianist Danny Green said, “We set out to document a mix of our intricately arranged material, with more spontaneous, on the spot arrangements. We had so much fun experiencing the unfolding of the unknown as we recorded these pieces, and we are so happy to have captured that same organic feel that comes so naturally in concert, but doesn’t necessarily always happen in the studio setting.”

“From tight arrangements to free-wheeling improvisations, this telepathic trio evolves into an equally intercommunicating quartet with Leonard Patton. If there is a group worthy of special attention and reintroduction in jazz.”
–Travis Rogers, Jr., The Sentinel

Over the past decade, Danny Green has earned recognition as a bandleader possessing a lyrically charged vision and as a composer with a gift for spinning supple, absorbing narratives. The San Diego pianist’s storytelling goes deeper than ever with his fifth album One Day It Will. Building on his acclaimed 2016 album Altered Narratives, which included several tracks pairing his longtime trio with strings, One Day It Will is a full chamber jazz melding of his working band and a highly responsive string quartet.
Green picked up his third San Diego Music Award on March 19, 2018 at the House of Blues. He previously received awards for Best Jazz Album for With You In Mind (2009) and After The Calm (2015).
