-

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 ...

Hudspeth and Taylor - Ridin' The Blinds - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ridin' The Blinds, from Hudspeth and Taylor and it's an excellent new interpretation of early  Mississippi Delta Blues. Opening with Poor Boy Long Ways from Home Jaisson Taylor on vocal and percussion and Brandon Hudspeth on guitar take this traditional tune and retain the best of it's vintage sound with modern style. Taylor has a strong voice and Hudspeth's slide work is solid. Nice opener. Otto Virgial's Little Girl In Rome has great energy with electrifying slide work by Hudspeth. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Willie Borum's Lonesome Home Blues with excellent vocal power by Taylor and driving guitar work by Hudspeth. Excellent. Waters' I Can't Be Satisfied kicks the set into up tempo mode and the duo is really jamming. With Morganfield trademark slide styling and super vocals, this is a great track. Wrapping the release is Big Bill Broonzy's Hey Hey with it's country style finger picking styling by Hudspeth. A casual but solid closer for a cool release.
