Tony Grey is part of a new fraternity of extraordinary young electric bass guitar virtuosos who have taken the vocabulary of pioneers like Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke to the next level. Surrounding himself with a stellar cast of improvisers and fellow virtuosos, including drummers Ronald Bruner Jr and Chris Dave, harmonica ace Gregoire Maret, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bass trumpeter and trombonist Elliot Mason, current collaborator and former Berklee classmate Oli Rockberger, Holdsworthian guitarist Tim Miller and pianist Hiromi Uehra, Grey acquits himself as a remarkably fluent player with a strong melodic penchant. From start to finish, Grey delivers with authority, taste and inspiration on his fully realized sophomore outing.
