Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Celebrated & Veteran Jazz Pianist Darrell Grant .. We caught up with him about his new 2023 CD Our Mr. Jackson and covered his sense of purpose, agency, and connection to community. Through eight albums as a bandleader, numerous recordings as a sideman, a growing body of compositions, and two decades of service as an educator and leader in the arts, his multi-faceted creative projects and innovative initiatives reflect a belief in the extraordinary power of art to communicate, inspire, provoke, inform, and move others to transform society and themselves. He was introduced to international audiences in 1988 as the pianist with the legendary vocalist Betty Carter and things have just gotten better and deeper over the years. Dig this interview.
