In
May of 1971, Danny Brill went downtown to Fillmore East and saw Emerson
Lake & Palmer and he's never been the same! Having given up playing
in the '70s, Brill went on to form Keyboard Instrument Rentals in
NYC. Around 2004 Brill began writing some new material and lo and
behold in 2008, he released the appropriately titled Better Late
Than Never. Although greatly influenced by prog-rock keyboard
giants like Emerson and even Tony Kaye, Brill keeps it all things
eclectic, with the CD featuring key musical roles from Stories vocal
legend Ian Lloyd, bass / stick ace Tony Levin and guitarist
Nick Moroch. Spotlighting Brills skillful keyboard work
on piano and all things electronic, the CD features a host of key
musicians including Brill's daughter Jessie Brill (cello) and
son Keith Brill (narration). Recorded in Upstate N.Y. between
2004 and 2007, Better Late Than Never was expertly mixed by
master sound man David Hentschel in England in 2008. Having
worked wonders with Mike Oldfield and Genesis, Hentschel is well known
among studio engineers as being one of the best and his sound stamp
is all over Brills masterwork. With a number of dizzying instrumental-based
tracks, Better Late Than Never serves as a superb showcase
for Brills daring keyboard concepts. www.DannyBrill.com
