I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Sarasota Swing by The Ron Kraemer Trio and It's a solid batch of hot jazz and blues. Opening with Junior Steps, Reggie Murray on sax and B-3 has the lead on a swinging sound. Ron Kraemer breaks looks with terrific tone and fluid lines on guitar, backed by Gregg Germony on bass and Michael Finley on brushes. Strong opener. On The Craw, Kraemer is front and center on lead guitar with warm B3, bass and light brushes behind. A strong sax solo by Murray is the icing on the cake. Swinging, At The Blase' Cafe', is really a hot track with blazing lines by Kraemer and warm B3 work by Murray. Murray breaks loose with some real nice sax before turning the lead back to Kraemer. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks on the release. Another great swinger is Reggie No.2 with excellent lead lines by Kraemer over a light instrumental backing and then a pairing with Murray on sax and a fat B3 solo by Murray giving the track full spice. Very nice. Wrapping the release is terrific swinger, Who's Knocking, with Kraemer really stepping up with strong T Bone Walker style riffs. With Murray hot on his tail on B3 , Germony on bass and Finley on brushes, this is a terrific closer.
