TONY MONACO: Celebration Chicken Coup, 2012 SOUL JAZZ – Tony Monaco burns it up as usual on the Hammond B-3 organ. Disc 1 is uneven: it’s all new material, mostly in trios with drums and either sax or guitar. Unfortunately the sax is oddly mixed and never sounds really comfortable, but a few tracks shine when the organ really lets loose. Disc 2 is a “best of” compilation from Monaco’s previous work, and the selections there are outstanding. Fo’s Picks: Disc I – 3, 8, 9, 11 Disc II – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 DISC ONE 1. 3:54 – easy rolling midtempo 2. 4:29 – uptempo romp, careful sax 3. 5:54 – greasy soul, bluesy solos 4. 7:25 – relaxed bossa glides along 5. 3:41 – slow, deep-blue ballad 6. 5:54 – retro soul strut, 1970s feel 7. 4:29 – rolling gospel with choir 8. 5:42 – solid romp, organ solo kills 9. 4:34 – relaxed, thoughtful tune 10. 4:01 – old-school cheesy stroll 11. 3:37 – uptempo hardbop stomp 12. 6:08 – vocal ballad, lounge feel 13. 2:49 – chunky reprise of #6 DISC TWO 1. 7:07 – modern soul, hot solos 2. 6:01 – oooh! a cool blues drag 3. 3:56 – happy boogaloo groove 4. 5:40 – heavy-duty slow blues 5. 5:57 – relaxed gospel-blues 6. 6:25 – funky two-organ jam 7. 9:37 – slow blues, the real deal 8. 6:03 – toe-tappin’ soul-jazz strut 9. 3:57 – rolling uptempo blues 10. 12:26 – live: upbeat, rolling jam with great guitar & organ 11. 4:23 – upbeat gospel march [ Fo ] - May 2012 | ||
