Jeff Lashway, jazz legend Maynard Ferguson's final, and one of the trumpeter's favorite, pianists presents a swinging and accessible set of unique arrangements of great tunes. With a stellar lineup, including the amazing drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, trumpeter Jim Rotondi, bassist Todd Coolman and Jeff Beck//Wet Willie alumnus vocalist Jimmy Hall, Lashway's chops, taste and arranging skills are amply displayed.
AllAboutJazz says: "REUNION is a terrifically entertaining, swinging, and most enjoyable CD, the music and its players shining throughout. Hopefully, Lashway and his team will reunite again soon."
This is truly a joyous reunion: Lashway and Colaiuta are lifelong friends, Hall and Colaiuta toured together with Jeff Beck, Rupert was on Maynard's band with Lashway, and trombonist John Allred and Jim Rotondi were on Toshiko Akiyoki's band. Producer Scott Elias, Lashway and Colaiuta have been close friends for years; Jimmy Hall is Scott's cousin!
Long overdue, this musical reunion will keep you happily listening...Enjoy.
