| BIOGRAPHY |
| Keyboard wiz Danny Brill (piano, organ, and synths) has been heavily influenced by such pioneering progressive rock bands as Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, and Gentle Giant to name a few. He even recruited one of his favorite prog rock musicians, Tony Levin (from King Crimson and Peter Gabriel's band) to play on several tracks But he has managed to find his own updated prog rock sound on this stunning debut solo CD. Over 3 years in the making, this is a serious piece of work which deserves a high end sound system to appreciate the amazing detail and depth of the recording.
For a complete bio of Danny Brill, please visit his website at www.dannybrill.com. Here's some info from Danny on some of the other world class musicians who played on his CD, Better Late Than Never:
Tony Levin (bass guitar, Chapman stick) is best known both as a member of Peter Gabriel's band and as a former member of King Crimson. He also has an extensive discography as a session player that goes back many years, as well as several solo CD's. When not touring with his own group, The Tony Levin Band, he's playing with such interesting bands as Liquid Tension Experiment.
Ian Lloyd (vocals) was the lead singer for the band Stories, and has an extensive resume of studio work,recording backing vocal parts on many hits by Foreigner, as well as songs by Billy Joel, and Yes. He also has recorded several solo CD's
Nick Moroch (electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin) is a 'first call' session player who has recorded with more artists than I could possibly list here--his discography would be in the hundreds of records, dating back to Lenny White's group which Nick joined when still a teenager. He currently plays guitar as a member of David Sanborn's band.
Michael Sciotto (drums, vocals) is invovlved in many recording projects as a studio musician. He also put out a CD of his own group Hemisphere, and has recently been doing some live dates playing drums with Jefferson Starship.
David Keyes (electric and acoustic bass) was formally a member of the band Renaissance. (You can check out his bass playing on the CD In the Land of the Rising Sun, which was recorded live in Japan.) More recently he has recorded and toured with Willie De Ville's band.
