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 ...

Adam Hersh - Tornado Watch - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Tornado Watch, from Adam Hersh and it's quite interesting. Opening with Woe V Shade, Adam Hersh on Rhodes piano, Jermaine Paul on bass and Myles Martin on drums create a whirling rhythm. Andrew Renfroe on guitar joins adding to the mix and a very cool tight mix. Parallel Motion is a deeper exploration featuring Evan Abounassar on trumpet and Devin Daniels on Alto sax. Hersh on Rhodes and stepping bass lines by Paul create an intriguing dialog and Daniels on sax plays thoughtfully expressive phrasing. Very interesting. On Concessions there is a distinct change in direction with a more forward melody by Abounassar and Daniels. With a bop driving bass line by Paul and piano encouragement by Hersh, Daniels lays out a real nice solo. Hersh takes the reins and a real nice gallop over Paul's bass line and tight drum action by Martin. Very nice. Wrapping the release is Propellant with a smooth, almost Latin influence. Paul keeps it tight with Hersh and Daniels holding the melody. Joined by Abounassar on trumpet and Renfroe on guitar, Paul's bass comes to life with solid lead lines. A real nice melodic piano solo by Hersh takes over the track with light bass and drum bottom giving way to a strong trumpet solo by Abounassar and then Daniels on sax. Solid closer.
