Devin Daniels - Grandiose *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 7th November 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

We are proud to announce Devin Daniel's sophomore release with The Village, Grandiose, available on all platforms 10/24. A modern jazz-epic composed entirely of original tunes composed by Devin, and performed by quartet of young west coast all-stars: Logan Kane on bass, Myles Martin on drums, and Javier Santiago on keys. Logan was present on Devin's first excursion with The Village, Trio Expeditions. Myles is a frequent collaborator and a staple in premiere LA rhythm sections. Javier and Devin met while attending the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA. Right after graduating from the institute, Devin toured with Herbie Hancock and found himself to be the youngest player on legendary stages including the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Hall. Together, the quartet explores grooves, odd-time signatures, post-bop blues, and synthy ambient textures, all pushing each other's boundaries with a sense of freedom and urgency. The first single, “Particle,” features a Miguel Atwood-Ferguson arrangement, performed by a string-quartet, adding a unique chamber influence. The album's second single, “Nightmare Kitten,” contrasts to a Ta brooding melody with dissonant chords over a slow, deliberate groove. Other highlights include the electric energy of “Blink,” the breezy pocket in “Contrivance,” and extended meditations in “Mind 1” and “Mind 2.” Here is the quintessential young Devin Daniels record, tight yet grand in scale, his unique talents on full display from start to finish.
