VizzTone Label Group artist: Bob Corritore & Friends - Doin' The Shout! - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Doin' The Shout!, from Bob Corritore & Friends and it's cooking! Opening with shuffle, Say Baby Say, Thornetta Davis is upfront on lead vocal and I really like her style. With my pal Johnny Burgin on guitar, Dave Keyes on piano, Bob Corritore on harmonica, Bob Stroger on bass and Wes Starr on drums, this is a great opener. Woman Wanted features Oscar Wilson on lead vocal and Muddy Waters like slide work by guitar wiz Bob Margolin. I really do love his loose slide and with Stroger on bass, Anthony Geraci on piano, and Starr on drums, this is a super track. Francine Reed has an unmistakable voice and her addition on I Guess I'm A Fool is a terrific idea. With Duke Robillard adding lush guitar, Corritore up with key harmonica lead, Ben Levin on piano, Ben Hedquist on bass and Lewis Nash on drums, this is a solid soul track. Wilson is back on lead vocal on Just A Dream and it really lays in the groove. His vocals are rich and with Stroger on bass, Corritore's soulful wailing on harmonica, Margolin really digging in on guitar, Geraci on piano and Starr on drums, this is one of my favorites on the release. Tia Carroll is upfront on I've Got To Be With You Tonight and her voice is perfect paired with Kid Ramos, Johnny Main and Jimi Primetime Smith on guitars, Bill Stuve on bass and  Stephen Hodges on drums. Slamming shuffle, Twenty Room House, features John Primer on lead vocal and guitar paired with Corritore's stellar harmonica work and backed by Geraci on piano, with Stroger on bass and Starr on drums. A real mover. wrapping the release is My First Love featuring Stroger on lead vocal, backed by Geraci on piano, Starr on drums, Margolin on bass, Smith on guitar and Corritore on harmonica. This is certainly one of the best of the Friends series by Corritore. Pick one up!

Eldad Tarmu - Silver On Aluminum - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Silver On Aluminum, by Eldad Tarmu,  and it's a solid work based on the music of Horace Silver. Opening with The St. Vitus Dance, Eldad Tarmu on vibraphone leads the melody with precision and clarity. Supported by Marty Isenberg on double bass and Michael Shapira on drums, this is a strong opener. No Smokin' is a driving track with an excellent interpretation on the melody and active drum work by Shapira. Opus De Funk has a great "cooking" rhythm with an understated melody and highlights solos from both Isenberg and Shapira. Very cool. Wrapping the release is Yeah with a nod to Barney Kessel style in his engagement with Isenberg and Shapira. With it's Latin influence and monster drums solo, this is a solid closer.
