Ted O'Reilly Posted September 21, 2019 Report Posted September 21, 2019 A new release from a Toronto stalwart Andy Ballantyne, with hommages to his influences. A set of rewarding originals from a gang of greats... You'll be able to get it here: https://www.andyballantyne.com/playlist/play-on-words/ Quote

A set of rewarding originals from a gang of greats... You'll be able to get it here: https://www.andyballantyne.com/playlist/play-on-words/ Farrugia came to Akron a few years back in a band co-led by Ernie Watts and Brad Goode (joined by Kelly Sill and Adam Nussbaum). I hadn't heard of him before that night, but he and the rest of the band put on a great show. I haven't heard Piltch or Ballantyne, but I'm intrigued by the company (rhythm section) they keep. Now playing: They all were so young at the time this was recorded and now Harold Mabern and Willie Thomas have left us this year, with the enigmatic Strozier the only surviving member. What a group!

Yeah -- Adrean is FINE! and the youngest guy here... Rob Piltch is a terrific guitarist, sort of musical son of Ed Bickert, as all guitarists should be... with a great range... Andy is a deep musician, playing all the reeds with a great knowledge of styles, and is a fine writer and orchestrator for all band sizes. Great teacher, too. Should be much better known, but is as so many Toronto guys are, quite happy to live and work at home. Neil and Terry are of course internationally known, as they should be. Quote
John Tapscott Posted September 21, 2019 Report Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Yes, I know it's coming out legitimately on Mosaic. Just whetting my appetite for the full meal. Edited September 21, 2019 by John Tapscott Quote
