Música: New Age/Adult Contemporary/Contemporary Instrumental/Neo-Classical
Comentário AM:
The many recordings of keyboardist/composer Danny Wright are difficult to classify. He specializes in three distinct music styles: adult contemporary compositions, Broadway show tunes and movie themes, and classical music. His original compositions tend to be in the adult contemporary mode and are frequently inspired by classical composers such as Beethoven, Pachelbel and Debussy as well as by such Broadway greats as Gershwin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerome Kern and Stephen Sondheim. Wright was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. He began playing piano at age four. He then studied classical piano under Dr. Harris Cavender for ten years. While studying, Wright demonstrated a gift for improvising in the exact style he was playing and he has used this talent for making each piece uniquely his. Later he won a full scholarship to Christian University where he studied music education. He dropped out of school at age 22 to begin his professional career. Wright began composing his own music in 1985. With Dori and Bob Nichols, he founded the label Nichols-Wright Records (later Moulin D'Or Recordings) to release his own albums. He made his recording debut with Black and White, (1986) which was first marketed to a select group of friends, relatives, and restaurant patrons. It took two years, but eventually the Nichols' got local Dallas/Fort Worth radio stations to play Wright's songs. For his first cd, I would say that Danny was more than ready. It appears that he was past due to join the ranks of a recording star. This cd features a mixture of songs. It offers something for just about everybody. If you love classical music there is some of it here. How about show tunes? Well there are some of this music here. What about movie music? Right on, it's here also. The concept of this cd was brilliant. I think most people will like these performances. Danny, in my opinion, did a good job, especially for a debut cd. I just wish some of the other cds that I have in my collection by him would have turned out so good like this cd. I would like to offer a strong recommendation for piano lovers to buy this cd.
