Darren Litzie | On My Own Time

Darren Litzie’s On My Own Time presents the pianist in a focused trio setting that highlights his lyrical phrasing, rhythmic drive, and compositional clarity. Litzie on piano leads with confidence and restraint, allowing space for Chris Deangelis on bass and John Riley on drums to shape the music with responsive interplay and steady momentum. Drawing from jazz tradition while incorporating Brazilian colors and blues undertones, Litzie’s original compositions and selected material reveal a thoughtful balance of groove and nuance. The result is a cohesive trio recording that feels conversational and grounded solidly in swing.
