Darrell Grant | jazz composer, pianist, speaker

Jazz composer, pianist, and educator Darrell Grant is a creative artist who harnesses the power of music to create change. Whether through performing, composing, speaking, educating, or organizing musical initiatives around community, sustainability, or social justice, he seeks to leverage a deeper level of engagement and connection for positive change.

His current projects include his chamber jazz opera examining gentrification Sanctuaries, the sophisticated Modern Jazz Quartet-inspired MJ New Quartet, and a solo piano project, Decades, inspired by jazz piano legends. Grant also speaks on the ecology of Jazz and using art as an act of civic engagement.

Grant also tours an odyssey of Oregon’s terroir in The Territory’s 9-piece suite and a celebration of the civil rights hero in Step by Step: The Ruby Bridges Suite which can be enhanced with a choir local to the presenter.
