The Vivino Sisters Album: DNA Label: Vivtone Genre(s): Pop Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Aug 21, 2019
Review
Recorded in California and New Jersey, DNA is the debut album by singing sensations The Vivino Sisters. Daughters of jazz-rock sax maven Jerry Vivino, the eleven-cut album features a number of musicians including Jerry (sax, flute, clarinet), Jerry’s esteemed brother Jimmy Vivino (guitar, banjo), Mitch Forman (keys, arrangements) and other top musicians. The Vivino Sisters—Donna Vivino, Natalia Vivino & Antonia Vivino—each have show-biz pulsing through their DNA - is there a better word to describe the Vivino magic? All 3 girls have extensive backgrounds in music, from NYC on Broadway and theatrical productions and these musical gifts rise to the surface on DNA. The album starts off with an elegant version of “Castle On A Cloud”, from Les Misérables and mixes in a range of covers and originals composed by the sisters—notably written by
3 Times 7 Album: Rain In Chicago Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Jazz Posted By: Robert Silverstein

Review
Blues-rock continues to be a vital music sound and style all over the world. A good example of 21st century electric blues-rock from the U.K., the 2019 CD release of Rain In Chicago is a solid album by England’s 3 Times 7. Interesting name for a band and the album is a splendid showcase of singer Jenny Lawrence and guitarist David Holdstock. The guitar sound of Rain In Chicago is totally on fire and Jenny’s vocals are equally red-hot. Inspired by the band’s visit to the Windy City and the delta blues capital of New Orleans, the 12-track CD features a number of other musicians, including drummer Matt Ainsworth and a whole lot more. The CD is imaginatively packaged with humorous track-by-track notes. Rain In Chicago follows the band’s 2015 album Dirty Money. Hard-hitting blues rock with a belting vocalist and hard-hitting electric guitar sound, Rain In Chicago will
Flagship Romance Album: Concentric Label: Gatorbone Genre(s): Pop/Rock Posted By: Joe Ross
Aug 20, 2019
Review
The singing, songwriting duo of Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson find themselves right at home in pop-friendly territory with a broad repertoire of feelings, perspectives and emotions. Their set ranges from the breezy title cut “Concentric” to edgy rockers like “(Love is) Running Me Ragged.” Showing pop sensibilities, the duo’s music should garner them considerable airplay and a strong fan base. Flagship Romance’s strength is their appealing earthiness in songs like “California Mansions” and the thoughtful “Belly of the Beast.” Their material is varied and alluring folk-pop. They simply get into the groove with “Sex + Drugs + Rock + Roll + Kitties” that takes all of us on a wild ride. And in the next instant, the duo is sweetly singing “Chardonnay,” a wistful ballad with a sweet melancholy

Hendrik Meurkens Album: Cobb's Pocket (with Mike LeDonne, Peter Bernstein & Jimmy Cobb) Label: IN+OUT Genre(s): Jazz Posted By: Robert Silverstein

Review
Part jazzy, part bluesy, Cobb’s Pocket is the 2019 CD release by NYC based recording artist Hendrik Meurkens. Backed up by a fine band, including Peter Bernstein (guitar), Mike LeDonne (organ) and Jimmy Cobb (drums), the all-instrumental CD is the perfect showcase of Hendrik’s harmonica work, which is the key instrument showcased on the eight cut, 50 minute album. Post-bop jazz at its finest, Cobb’s Pocket features Hendrik and company romping through an album of cover tracks, including originals by Herbie Hancock, Slide Hampton, Henry Mancini, Sam Jones and Jimmy Van Heusen. The title track, track four “Slidin” and the CD closer “A Slow One” were written by Hendrik. The sound of the album showcases the steady interaction between the harmonica, electric guitar, organ and drums, which is a rarely heard combination of instruments. Jimmy Cobb is a
Vaneese Thomas Album: Down Yonder Label: Segue Genre(s): Contemporary BluesSoul Blues Posted By: Duane Verh
Aug 14, 2019
Review
Kicking off with the gut-punching “Ebony Man”- evoking the “story songs” that populated the soul and country charts of the ‘70’s- Vaneese Thomas works her way through a top-notch stack of soulful and lyrically meaty blues, ballads and burners. Matching her vocal power with emotional clout, track after track, Ms. T’s work here is a pride-worthy addition to the legacy of the r&b royalty that is her family. (That would be father Rufus and sister Carla). Other standouts in a kick-butt set include “I Tried”, “Second Chance” and “Last Kiss”.
