The Respect Sextet: The Full Respect

Read "The Full Respect" reviewed by Eric J. Iannelli

While gigging in and around Rochester, New York, the Respect Sextet circulated a demo CD entitled Respectacle. This portmanteau, as I'm fairly sure it was intended, conjures immediate associations with other words: respect, spectacle and receptacle. All three are appropriate. The players in this six-piece delight in paying homage to every one of their musical influences and enjoy drawing attention to themselves... and their debut full-length, The Full Respect , is a bag about as mixed as they come.
