Brian Carpenter’s Ghost Train Orchestra: Hot Town
Le ricche note di copertina introducono con dovizia di particolari autori, genesi dei brani e contesto storico e faranno la gioia di specialisti e appassionati del genere. Per limitarci alla musica contenuta in Hot Town possiamo evidenziare la ricchezza degli arrangiamenti, la pertinenza degli assoli, l'abilità nel ricreare le atmosfere di un epoca diventata mito, l'energia, la gioia, il rispetto nell'interpretarla.
Certo un po' di effetto revival aleggia nell'aria ma l'impiego di musicisti in gran parte attivi nella scena creativa di Brooklyn -Curtis Hasselbring, Rob Garcia, Colin Stetson, Andy Laster -fa brillare in maniera attuale alcune ottime composizioni troppo spesso dimenticate.
