Devin Gray’s Dirigo Rataplan connects musical generations while enhancing the dialogue of knowledge, experience, and honesty in jazz. Each composition unearths new possibilities enhancing each member of the quartets lifelong contributions to one of America's original art forms. Dirigo Rataplan uniquely represents three musical generations of experiences, perceptions, and conclusions with emphasis on Gray’s generation as the composer and bandleader of the quartet. Look for the album on Chris Speeds SKIRL RECORDS, in spring 2012.
"The debut leader recording from Brooklyn based drummer and composer Devin Gray offers a strong introduction to the future output of his artistic vision. Keep an eye on him as he will shockingly slip and slide through your preconceptions of style and genre."
