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 ...

Greg Nagy - Just A Little More Time - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Just A Little More Time, by Greg Nagy and it's straight up R&B flavored blues. Opening with title track, Just A Little More Time, Greg Nagy on lead vocal and guitar sets the pace with a solid radio track. With a strong melody, and nicely crafted backing this track is very nice. Featuring Josh Ford on rhythm guitar, John Barron on bass, Todd Glass on drums, Jim Alfredson on keys, Keith Kaminski on sax and Charlie Miller on trumpet, this is a solid opener. Breaking Me (but making me a better man) really has that blues telling feel but with R&B underpinnings, the track sounds very fresh. A clean guitar solo by Nagy over warm organ by Alfredson cements the deal. Bobby Murray's soulful track, Love Letter, really works nicely in the set with it's warm vocals by Nagy and clever guitar work by Bobby Murray and with James Hughes on sax, Jimmy Smith on trumpet and Matt Martinez on trombone. Tony Joe White's classic, Rainy Night In Georgia, is a terrific track and a great selection for Nagy with his rich vocals, backed by Miller, Kaminski, Alfredson, Glass and Barron. Very nice. Wrapping the release is John Lee Hooker's, I'm In The Mood, with a tempered attack. Nagy on vocal and guitar keeps the pace understated and Alfredson stretches nicely on organ. Nagy plays a tasty guitar solo of his own with Donny Brown on drums and Rocco Popielarski on bass closing out the set.
