I think it's important when listening to musicians, particularly Jazz musicians, the “clearity” of their performances. The horn, wind, string and keyboards should all be heard individually, but collectively as welL Tom Grant and his aggragation of musicians, do have the “clearity’ of sound that I spoke of earlier. “Molten Glass’ one of the many selections the group played, is not necessarily an easy tune to play because of the blending of instruments continuously throughout the number. The also did “1 Remember April’ an old classic. The timing and phrasing were very good. Along with “Steppin In It’ and a composition written by drummer Bill Thomas in 7/4 time called. "To Learn.” A fast, hard moving tune that someone not into jazz could appreciate because the selection was not incomprehensible. The group consisting of Bill Goldman on Alto Saxaphone, Bill Thomas on drums. Brad Harris on flute with a special guest appearance by Bill Harris on Tenor Saxaphone. Harris added a very nice touch to the selection “I Remember April.” Leader of the group Tom Grant plays piano and electric organ with style and imagination. The “Tom Grant Four" will be headling at “Ray’s Helm" for another month. The music is good, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I wouldn't miss them if I were you!
