Root Grooves Records artist: Dan Moretti & Brazilia - Live At The Pump House Music Works - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live At The Pump House Music Works, by Dan Moretti & Brazilia, and it's hot. Opening with mambo, Black Nile, this release is hitting on all cylinders right off the bat. With Dan Moretti leading the way on tenor sax, you'll be dancing in your chair. Maxim Lubarsky on piano lays down a stellar solo, reinforced by Oscar Stagnaro on bass, Ernesto Diaz on percussion and Steve Langone on drums. Excellent opener. Night Dreamer is a cool blend of reggae and Latin jazz with straight up sax melody by Moretti and a bountiful piano solo by Lubarsky with tight rhythms by Stagnaro, Diaz and Langone, and a powerful tenor solo by Moretti. Very cool. Wayne Shorter's Witch Hunt is given a Latin flavor and features a strong bass solo by Stagnaro and relentless tenor work by Moretti, making this one of my favorites on the release. Yes or No is sensational in 7 with Moretti on soprano sax, strong bass lead by Stagnaro and excellent drum work by Langone. Wrapping the release is Footprints with it's driving Latin rhythm reinforced by Diaz and fluid lead work by Moretti on tenor. The band takes the volume down but Lubarsky keeps the heat on with energetic piano phrasing over double time snare/cymbal work by Langone. Strong closer.

Walk That Walk - Red Devil Lye - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Red Devil Lye, from Walk That Walk and it's a country blues rocker. Opening with The Daydream, Poppa C DeSnyder on dobro and lead vocal in a Waylon kind of style, joined by Jon Reese on bass, Stickman Waldron on harmonica, Pappy Biondo on banjo and AlanWaters on drums. Driving rocker, Heavy Music, has a solid melody with DeSnyder on guitar and lead with Jimmy James Love on backing vocal and guitar, Ray Paczkowski on keys and Richard Cheese Welch on drums. You Don't Love Me has deep blues roots in Morganfield territory, with DeSnyder on vocal and dobro, Biondo on banjo, Waldron on harmonica and Waters on drums. Very cool. Wrapping the release is Jimmy Oden's On The Road Again made popular in the 70's by boogie band, Canned Heat. Love takes the lead on vocal joined by Waldron on harmonica, Reese on bass, DeSnyder on guitar and Waters on drums. This is a cool release with a nice slice of blues.
