In the pantheon of new age pianists, Danny Wright, with his versatility and gentle playing style, is one of the more accomplished performers to tickle the ivories. His latest release, DO YOU LIVE, DO YOU LOVE, features tunes that cling to the romantic, sentimental side of the songwriting spectrum. The album features two covers - a twinkly tune from the movie "Beaches" and an upbeat rendition of the "Largo" from Dvorak's "New World Symphony." The rest is pure Wright, his sunshine on a rainy day melodies intact on each of the remaining pieces, including the lilting "New Hope for Peace" and the "Love Story"-esque "In Time We Met." In addition to solo piano, the album also features light accompaniment on violin and orchestra.
