"Holt's debut CD offers a taste of his offbeat take on the classics and cutting-edge music."
-Daily Hampshire Gazette (Northampton, Mass.)

"Eclectic and fun...Imagine my surprise when I opened Danny Holt's new album and saw him playing the piano with his head underneath the instrument."
-The Reminder (Springfield, Mass.)

"There isn't a wayward or weird rhythm out there that Danny cannot lasso in, tame, and master."
-Monica Jakuc, concert pianist

Right Now captures the essence of Danny's adventurous and experimental musical spirit. Combining the serene and the spastic, the peaceful and the violent, the old and the new, Right Now includes music by the masters, some neglected treasures, and the newest of the new from the 21st century's cutting-edge composers.

Right Now features the world-premiere recordings of two major new works by the next generation of young American composers: the Sonata for Piano No. 1 by James Welsch, and Lona Kozik's Suite of Carnatic Rhythms. Also included are rarely-heard works such as the Mozart baroque suite (K. 399), a Bach chorale prelude re-composed by Busoni, and "The Anti-Abolitionist Riots" by Ives. Top it off with Brahms, Debussy, Beethoven, and a few surprises, and it's 74 minutes of jam-packed fun!

Though there's no substitute for the fog machines, strobe lights, or surprise guest appearances by deceased composers that have come to define Danny's live performances, Right Now promises to be a treat to all.
