 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ain't Wasting Time , from Nicky T And The Snake Charmers and it's dripping blues, soul and R&B music. Opening with Magic Sam 's, That's All I Need , Nicky T with soulful vocals and groomed guitar riffs gets into that Impressions groove. With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener. Rock n Roller, Feel Like A Hundred , features a driving guitar lead with vocals by Nicky and super piano work by Andy Szymanski on piano. Pete Berg on drums and Frank Greenhalgh round out the band and this track is really moving. Gritty blues, The Glass really gets down featuring guitarist extraordinaire, Ronnie Earl on lead guitar and excellent vocals by Greg Nagy. This tracks really sails with the addition of Jon Johnson on drums, Mike Marshall on bass, Jason Bone on rhythm guitar, John Gavin on piano and warm organ work by Szymanski. Excell...

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Rupe Media artist: Jeff Rupert - It Gets Better - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, It Gets Better, by Jeff Rupert, and it's quite good. Opening with Petrichor (in the Cote D'a zur) Rupert on tenor sax, really gets the track swinging with Kenny Barron on piano, Peter Washington on bass, and Joe Farnsworth on drums. Barron really gets the ivories rocking with an excellent solo of his own and Washington strolls on the bass adding even more texture. Excellent opener. Title track, It Gets Better features a nicely phrases melody by Rupert, nicely punctuated by the strokes of Barron, leading to a nice solo of his own. Very cool. Jimmy Van Heusen's Like Someone In Love makes for an excellent tune to work on and Rupert really takes it on with tasty sax phrasing on a light bed of cymbals and snare by Farnsworth and a great bass line by Washington. Washington gets a really nice stretch on bass on this one making it one of my favorites on the release. Not My Blues is a strong, original track with hard lines by Rupert and Barron. A solid bass/drum anchor really keeps this track pure another excellent addition to the set list. Wrapping the release is Promenade In Blue, a terrific original ballad with a beautiful melody. Rupert's tone is sultry and warm and Barron's piano accompaniment caresses the melody. Washington's solo on this one is condensed yet powerful adding real teeth. This is a strong closer for a truly fine release.
