But his most recent US release, "Manhattan Nocturne" (Arabesque), a typically scorching quintet session featuring pianist Mulgrew Miller, was released in 1998.

Painter with a wounded soul Jan 28, 2008
Many see his painting Night Target, Germany (1946) as one of his best, yet I cannot help but wonder over the somewhat slick commercial quality of this nocturne of flaming airplanes, enemy searchlights, exploding flak and the glowing conflagration below, particularly given how disturbed he was by these flying missions. (He was a bomb-aimer, and his daughter, Jennifer, particularly recalls hearing of his horror at seeing Dresden after its devastation, a smouldering pile of rubble where a jewel box...

Review: A skillful 'Monsieur Chopin' Oct 31, 2006
Among the sweetest works heard, many in excerpts, are several Nocturnes. In interpreting the oft-performed Nocturne in E-Flat Major, Opus 9, No. 2, Felder adds a newly discovered cadenza, as if sprinkling two handfuls of stars over the passage. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
Feast For The Senses Oct 1, 2006
Looking at Whistler's "Nocturne in Blue and Silver," it is easy to see why he called his paintings "symphonies" or "nocturnes," the latter after the music of Frederic Chopin ... You cannot look at Turner's "Staffa" without hearing Mendelssohn; you cannot stand before Whistler's "Nocturne: without feeling the tonal, moody nature of a Chopin composition. A few minutes of "The Beggar's Opera" summons Hogarth's satiric depiction of a particular scene. "Art " is confined to four periods of British... (CTNow.com)

Quiet achievers have their day May 13, 2006
He also stands at the end of a local tradition of nocturne paintings, capturing that moment between daytime and darkness when one's impressions become blurred and open to poetic suggestion. The all-time icon of this form of painting is David Davies's Moonrise (1894) in the National Gallery of Victoria, yet Davies's approach seems almost baroque alongside Grant's finely calibrated twilights.
