New Release: Live In Shanghi - Sam Hooper Group - Review


I just got a copy of Sam Hooper Groups new cd "Live In Shanghai". This recording is killer. This recording includes a few originals as well as a number of old blues standards and a few "classic" pieces. Sam takes a very broad look at the blues with a jazz, funk blues take with jaw dropping instrumentals. Only the Allman Brothers "Southbound" is even slightly predictable. I have been listening to this recording pretty much non stop for a few days and it's just great! Each song is a great opportunity for the extremely talented band to stretch out into long jam interludes. Now by long I don't mean boring. I mean intense and jam packed. Sam, who plays a mean guitar and sings is joined by Jordan Scannella on Bass and vocals (wow!!) and Akira Nakamura on drums. This band is really stacked and it really hits a groove!
