MUSIC REVIEW BY Robert Doerschuk, Downbeat, September 2007
***
Patitucci is on board for Truth And Reconciliation, a mostly trio, two-disc set from pianist Darrell Grant. With Brian Blade on drums, the ambient master Bill Frisell popping up on guitar and vibes chilling the mix courtesy of Joe Locke, the mood is cool to medium up. Aside from "The Way You Look Tonight," on which Grant cultivates a Hornsby-like essence, Grant's material dominates this set, all of it thoughtfully and economically presented.
