Bman's Blues Report

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Unfinished Business , by Rhythm Krewe , and it's a cool, laid back blues release. Opening with She Moves Me , Steve Zelman on vocal and guitar sets up a cool shuffle with Jim Blazer on piano, Dave Grover on bass, Danny Pucillo, Jr. on drums, Roy Wiegand on trumpet, Chris Mostert on tenor sax, Chris Jennings on bari sax and Chris Hughes on trombone. Mostert sets off the first of the solo chain with some real rich vibe, followed by Blazer on piano and Zelman on guitar. Strong opener. Little Bit of Heaven has a real nice primitive blues feel starting first with only Zelman on vocal and guitar. With the addition of Blazer on piano, Grover on Bass and Pucillo jr. on drums this track gets thick and meaty. Slow blues, Time of Day , is my favorite track on the release, with warm vocal lead by Gary Coppola and lush guitar work by Selman and tasty piano work by Blazer and full horn backing. Very nice.
