💿 ALBUM REVIEW: Leigh Pilzer - Keep Holding On

Image
Get ready to groove with Dr. Leigh Pilzer , the Washington, D.C. baritone sax powerhouse who proves that jazz is meant to be a living, breathing party, not a dusty museum piece. Described as a pure force of nature with a gruff, punchy, and assertive sound, Leigh brings a heavy dose of soulful grit to the stage. She has traded licks with the legendary Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and even arranged horns for local legends like Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy , and now she is bringing that deep, soulful swagger front and center with her vibrant new album, Keep Holding On. This record is a masterclass in pure, undeniable groove, packed with plenty of attitude, low-end bark, and raw energy that blues fans will instantly appreciate. Keep Holding On strikes the perfect balance between paying respect to the jazz heritage and absolutely cutting loose, making it an essential, high-energy addition to your playlist.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Keep Holding On by Leigh ...

Blues Meets Girl featuring Sean Carney - New Release Review

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Blues Meets Girl featuring Sean Carney and it's pretty cool. British blues veteran, Mr. Downchild, joins forces with Kasimira and Sean Carney on this latest outing. Opening with Nightgown, a solid Chicago blues style number featuring Mr. Downchild on strong harmonica lead, Kasimira on vocal, Sean Carney on guitar, Scott Flowers on drums, and Ray Deforest on bass this is a super opener. Cool swinging rocker, Didn't See It Coming has Downchild on lead vocal and gives Carney a great opening to show Chuck Berry like riffs making this one of my favorites on the release. A cool track with authentic old style foot stomping blues influence is Backstabber, primarily Downchild on vocal, guitar and harmonica with Carney on guitar. Very nice.  With it's Latin overtones, Home To My Baby is a strong blues track featuring Downchild on lead vocal and guitar. Flowers' drum rhythms and Deforest's bass lines make this another top track. Cool shuffle, Swinging With Hank is a tasty instrumental with tight guitar lead by Carney. It's simple beat and nice melody make it another favorite on the release. Kasimira's top vocal track is Fishing Blues with light blues accompaniment by Carney on guitar and Downchild on harp. I'm Your Handyman is pure Downchild and pure blues. With only acoustic guitar and foot drum under early style blues lyrics and accompanying harmonica, as Down (child) as it gets.
