Jerry Granelli – Dance Hall (digipak)

Drummer-composer Jerry Granelli (of the Vince Guraldi Trio fame) recorded Dance Hall with an all-star cast that includes producer Lee Townsend, guitarists Bill Frisell and Robben Ford, and horn player Bill Runge, among others. Granelli’s 20th album as a leader has him tackling hit singles from yesteryear, including The Platters’ “The Great Pretender,” Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth,” Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame” and Louis Jordan’s “Caldonia.” He also tips his cap to Max Roach on “Driva Man” and Charles Mingus on “Boogie Stop Shuffle” and Bob Dylan on “Meet Me in the Morning.”
