Danny Wright celebrates his quarter-century career as an
internationally renowned pianist by rereleasing several of his landmark albums,
chief among them his debut CD.
This disc offers a mix of standards, movie music, and Broadway
tunes. Highlights include “Moonlight Sonata” and medleys of George Gershwin and
Barbra Streisand. Particularly affecting are Wright’s sensitive and nuanced
takes of Streisand’s “People” and “Memory,” and “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”
from Evita.
Wright’s arrangements are tasteful, and his playing is masterful
in its temperance.
This album is a pleasant excursion through the American pop
culture songbook.
