Sonic Poets

 The Sonic Poets feature Dave Grilly - sax and woodwinds, Michael Hershenson - guitars, Jeff Kier - piano, and Lanny Grilly - drums. Their last CD, "Goin' Places!", by Jeff Kier & The Grilly Brothers, on the BluJazz label, was Grammy Recognized in 2009.  The Sonic Poets perform pianist Jeff Kier's jazz compositions. Recently, Mark Stevens, a San Francisco DJ, commented that "Jeff was emerging as one of the great composers of our time."  The Sonic Poets current show combines Jeff's indelible melodies and the band’s unique fusion of solid grooves and seductive world-rhythms.  Much of Jeff Kier's music has been scored for both Symphony & Jazz Orchestras. Examples recorded live at The Jazz Showcase can be found under the "Orchestra Project" menu.
