Discography
“In his recent review, Matthew Andrews commended the recording quality of Grossman’s last album, Becoming Durga, and the same is true for her latest. The instruments are well-balanced, there is a solid dynamic range, and the reverb is subtle but present. The production matches the tone of Grossman’s music: no tricks or frills… Well there you go! Only five of the richest musical traditions in the world! No big deal! Small wonder it all sounds like something that Ursula K. LeGuin’s Envoys of the Ekumen would listen to via ansible while riding between planets on their NAFAL spaceships..”

“It’s fantastic… With three pieces totaling over an hour, the album is great meditative-close-listening music, afternoon-in-the-backyard music, or cooking-a-fancy-dinner music… It felt transportative.”

Touching on themes of cyclical connection, deep time, death and renewal, intergenerational sharing, and sense of place, Grossman’s stylistic signature of connecting her broad-based cultural roots with an ever deepening connection to our natural environment is shown here to resplendent effect.
Wildfires and Waterways
“stunning album... you may never look at a river again without hearing music, this music”
- National Flute Association Quarterly
Released May 25, 2022
An illuminative tribute to the powerful natural elements that shape the Western United States, the album places the lush sounds of Grossman’s chamber and solo piano writing alongside important messages about climate change. The overall effect is that of cohesive, timely, and wild beauty.
Becoming Durga
“Well there you go! Only five of the richest musical traditions in the world! No big deal! Small wonder it all sounds like something that Ursula K. Leguin’s Envoys of the Ekumen would listen to via ansible while riding between planets on their NAFAL spaceships”

The album’s highlight is its namesake piece, in which Grossman performs on her banjo in a delightful, collaborative improvisation alongside masterful musicians. The eponymous work is bright yet mysterious; a creative exploration of modal C tuning drawn from the depths of the pandemic.
