CD ReviewsDanny Krivit: The "Grass Roots" of New York Dance Culture Curtiss Burrell | New York, New York | 06/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Born and raised in Greenwich Village, New York City, Danny inherited his love of music from his immediate family. His mother was a jazz singer and his father was a jazz club owner and manager of jazz trumpeter, Chat Baker. Danny grew up lessening to music and became an avid record collector. His diverse musical palate was further influenced by Walter Gibbons of Galaxy 21, Tee Scott of Better Days (and Club Zanzibar in Newark, New Jersey) and the great David Marcuso of The Loft. As a deejay, Mr. Krivit enjoyed guest appearances at the distinguished Paradise Garage, The World and residencies at The Roxy and Body and Soul events. This disc represents Danny's early musical appetite and is an eclectic mixture of material. "Grass Roots" should not be confused with "disco" or computer hard drive created dance tunes. From the scurrilous rock/club classic "Why Ya Do It" by Marianne Faithful, to the funky and soulful "You're the One" by Little Sisters (Sly and the Family Stone's back-up singers)to the gospel sounds of "You Brought the Sunshine" by The Clark Sister, this CD exemplifies the sound of New York's underground dance culture when it was in its most dynamic and intrinsic period. " 30 year cycles... the 70's in all its glory Zain Rashid | Irving, TX United States | 05/06/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is the best work put out to date by 'ole Danny Rock (as he was known in his "Roxy" days), he does some strenous elimination from 30 years of record collecting... I applaud him for a job well done, it's very hard to pick the best from the best! It makes for great "edu-tainment" for us younger cats and the older ones who let it pass 'em by alike... some tunes more known and some wonderfully obscure really makes this more of a "body & soul" experience than all the volumes by that name put together. Please keep releasing more stuff like this!" Ooooooo I loooove it! Harlem Honi | Harlem USA | 06/25/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I was chatting with a guy on the internet and he suggested this CD among some others. He was a Paradise Garage regular so I knew he knew. What can I say "Turn on the Lights" is my jam! I just love how he made such an eclectic group of songs work on this compilation. I just sing and dance and sing and dance...ughhh I get goosebumps just thinking about it!"
