Bman's Blues Report

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Unconditionallove , from Davide Pannozzo , and it's realy cool. Opening with Six Wires , guitarist & lead guitar player, Davide Pannozzo sets the pace with a strutting funky track with a solid bass line from Will Lee and his own melodic lead. Joined by Steve Jordan and Shawn Pelton on drums and Olli Rockberger and  Ricky Peterson on Hammond and keys,  this is a super start. Rocker, One & Only has a definite radio hook, cool melody and tight beat. Chasing Illusions has a real nice modern take on the delta blues with contemporary lines. I particularly like Pannozzo's vocal pairing with Lee's bass lines. George Harrison's Wah Wah is a nice surprise with a more key laden refrain than Harrison's own but with a cool Pannozzo styled guitar lead. Very nice. The Purest Thing is a warm melodic jazz guitar melody. Extremely clean. Billy Cobham's Stratus is always one of my favorites and this on...

I came across Davide Pannozzo about 6 months or so ago when I was looking for talent and I was blown away. I have been awaiting this cd which he told me at the time he was working on and it's killer. Now it's not straight blues, but it has a lot of blues and Davide is a very accomplished guitar player. If you like guitars, you should love this recording. In any case, here's my review of Born Electric , the new release by Davide Pannozzo & Loud Stuff .Davide Pannozzo - Guitar & Vocal, Claudio Romano - Drums Lello Somma - Bass with Special Guest: Robben Ford, David Garfield, Carl Verheyen and Pippo Guarnera. Who Cares is a light jazzy track with guest appearance by Guarnera. It takes a while to get to it, but Davide plays some extremely tasty riffs at the bridge. It appears that this song will be the airplay song. Stone Marten Blues , again with Guarnera guesting, is a driving blues with a modern flair. Davide shows his chops with an extended solid solo which has s...

I just listened to an EP by Davide Pannozzo called Absolutely Live. The cd is surprisingly fresh and bright with more of a Robbin Ford type of sound than anything else I can think to compare to but certainly not a R Ford clone by any means. A couple of cover tunes here but a very enjoyable recording to listen to. Certainly a player that we'll want to keep our eyes on for future work!

Davide was born in Formia 26 years ago and is currently considered by critics and audiences the rising star of international blues guitar. Growing up in the rhythm of Jimi Hendrix , thanks to the shared passion of the parents for the Blues, he began studying classical guitar at the age of six years, showing an early age his natural inclination for music. At the age of 14 years supports the first tests in the conservatory: he graduated in music theory, and theory and in September the same year he took the classical guitar for lower (fifth year) at the Conservatory of Avellino 'D.
