Description
“Grassmann uses modern and clever textures to point the music into a creative direction.”
– Jazz Weekly
Drummer and composer Clemens Grassmann releases “Grass Machine,” a testament to the intersection of hard work and creativity that’s ushering in the rebirth of the New York Renaissance. Grass Machine unites listeners of every sonic prerogative and stands as both a love letter and testament to the hardworking people of New York City whose resilience not only carried them through the trials of the past two years, but have started to pave the way for a new Renaissance for music, arts, and the everyday man. The band on Grass Machine, recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studios, consists of Aaron Bahr on trumpet, David Milazzo on alto saxophone, Sam Dillon and Chris Bittner on tenor saxophones, Chris McCarthy on piano, Cole Davis on bass, and the bandleader and composer Clemens Grassmann on drums.
