 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Stone Cold , from Russ Green , and it's a driving blues rocker. Opening with Lint Redux , you are immediately in the middle of a swampy blues with modern effects. With a firm foot stomp by Felix Pollard on drums and Vic Jackson on bass Russ Green on harmonica and vocals really has the earthy feel. Giles Corey on slide gives the track great grease and Green's harp work is strong. Excellent opener. 12 Feet of Water opens with a terrific harmonica aria before grinding into a super drum driven romp. With the feel that I can only describe as Hill Country , Green delivers such soulful vocals, comforted by Joe Monroe on keys, this track just grabs you. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent!

Opening with mambo, Black Nile , this release is hitting on all cylinders right off the bat. With Dan Moretti leading the way on tenor sax, you'll be dancing in your chair. Maxim Lubarsky on piano lays down a stellar solo, reinforced by Oscar Stagnaro on bass, Ernesto Diaz on percussion and Steve Langone on drums. Excellent opener. Night Dreamer is a cool blend of reggae and Latin jazz with straight up sax melody by Moretti and a bountiful piano solo by Lubarsky with tight rhythms by Stagnaro, Diaz and Langone, and a powerful tenor solo by Moretti. Very cool. Wayne Shorter's Witch Hunt is given a Latin flavor and features a strong bass solo by Stagnaro and relentless tenor work by Moretti, making this one of my favorites on the release. Yes or No is sensational in 7 with Moretti on soprano sax, strong bass lead by Stagnaro and e...
