Don Grolnick was a subtle and rather underrated pianist throughout his career, but his flexibility and talents were well known to his fellow musicians. Grolnick played in rock bands while a teenager but was always interested in jazz. He worked in the early fusion group <a href="spotify:artist:0Hn5DjA44wzZuxhRl81S6p">Dreams</a> (1969-1971), <a href="spotify:artist:45rpaf8BR69NIPqmeAYb7l">the Brecker Brothers</a> (starting in 1975), and in the early '80s with <a href="spotify:artist:5RKuvhYscPTUScwoFLAeK5">Steps Ahead</a>. He has long been a busy session musician often utilized by pop singers. In the 1980s, Grolnick appeared in many settings including with <a href="spotify:artist:550VNM96M8mO90texkUWDC">Joe Farrell</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4N8BwYTEC6XqykGvXXlmfv">George Benson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3Bm6MhzPUczH3Pej2FNqGi">Peter Erskine</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7vNcTk9TgKF0qDsS87nWGE">David Sanborn</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:14RXohtx6NiBGFTW8IdmAK">John Scofield</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3zX0EMvB00JzxnRi5EIICP">Mike Stern</a>, and the <a href="spotify:artist:2yKX1WpgVIxOJbwBbFwqQ0">Bob Mintzer</a> big band. Don Grolnick is heard at his best on his Hip Pocket debut Hearts and Numbers (1986), and on his two Blue Note albums, which have been reissued as a double-CD. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
