Laurence
Donohue-Greene, Managing Editor, " All
about Jazz " (New York), which designated Henry
Grimes " MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR in 2003 " !
If you
haven't heard the fantastic news about HENRY
GRIMES' return to the jazz world, I don't know what
stone you've been sleeping under !
He's been the talk of the town, and I don't just
mean New York or Los Angeles, but the jazz
community at large has been celebrating his recent
rediscovery after not even having played for a good
three decades. After a few fairly recent gigs out
West, he made his triumphant return to NYC at last
year's Vision Festival and showed us all that he is
back, and boy is he ever! His arco and pizzicato
playing is like a resurrection for bass players the
world over.... Welcome back, Mr. Grimes!
- Patricia Nicholson
Parker,
Producer, Vision Festival, New York City.
Henry
Grimes is a very special gift to this scene. He
plays with so much dedication and gentleness in his
music... wonderful to hear.
- Kelvin Leander
Williams,
" Time Out New York ", " "Top Live Shows ",

Bassist
Henry Grimes's amazing return to the music scene
was easily the jazz human-interest story of
2003.
The buzz about his Rip van Winkle-like reappearance
at the Vision Festival, after some 33 years away
from music, was eclipsed only by the fact that his
playing showed few signs of rust; the fest took
place in May ['03], and Grimes was leading his own
band at Iridium by early July. His skill -- hardly
unfathomable for a musician whose resume includes
recordings and gigs with people like Mose Allison,
Albert Ayler, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins and
Cecil Taylor -- puts the lie to the old saw "If you
don't use it, you lose it." Grimes's story this
year, however, is different. It's not just about
how eager he is to return to the top of the jazz
world; it's about how quickly the word's getting
out that he's up to the challenge...
