Consider a CD of award-winning jazz stories told in melody. SongTeller features captivating performances by a 20-piece jazz orchestra.

“The award-winning guitarist, composer, and arranger’s vibrant, cinematic new album, features not only a kaleidoscopic, big-band arrangement of the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever, but also a swaggering, earthy tribute to Charles Mingus, among other tunes.
– Boston Globe

“Grondin has a real flair for large-ensemble color and momentum in the tradition of Gil Evans and Thad Jones”
– Boston Phoenix
