Saxophones reign supreme on Danny Lerman’s 2022 album Night Rider. With its array of upbeat, smooth sounds, “Night Rider” takes you on a sonic trip into the land of superb jazz-rock instrumentals. Throughout his new album Lerman captures the dazzle and sheen of modern fusion music, with each track packed with feelings of good vibrations. Co-creataing Night Rider with Dutch, Israeli and Latin American musicians, the Indiana-based Lerman combines his lyrical and robust sax improvisations within a variety of jazz, world beat and pop music colors from around the planet.

The 8-track, 33 minute Night Rider album was written by Danny Lerman, Adam Hawley (keys, guitars, programming) and Carnell Harrell (additional synths) with expert production and mixing by Adam Hawley. The interplay between Lerman, Hawley and Harrell borders on musical ESP while the album also benefits from the tight rhythm section of Mel Brown (bass) and Eric Valentine (drums). Tracks range from the smooth and upbeat jazz fusion of the title track to the more introspective, urbane sax/guitar drive of “Once A Time” and the near jazz-symphonic sound of “Love Feels Like”. Fusion enthusiasts and smooth jazz fans will surely want to hear Danny Lerman’s Night Rider.
