About
Featuring guitar greats Robben Ford and Bill Frisell, the material on "Dance Hall" reflects Jerry Granelli's deep gratitude to the artists who originally wrote and recorded these great songs, and at this point in his life the sheer joy of playing the drums. "The key was not doing covers, but finding songs that were personal to my journey. We kept it as open and spontaneous as possible; it's about the joy of finding the freedom in the form."

For the most part, Dance Hall resonates with a no-frills vigor, but still comes with surprises. The best moments, however, occur on the ballads, as with the haunting reading of Freddie King’s “Never Gonna Break My Faith.” After listening to that standout performance, listeners likely will wish for more reunions among Granelli, Frisell and Ford.
