Jeff Richman & Friends: Live At The Baked Potato Volume 2
ByRichman’s arsenal includes sustained extended notes, legato chord progressions, nimble plucking and animated lead soloing, evidenced on the opener, “Kamaroon”, where he joins bassist, Abraham Laboriel drummer, Vinnie Colaiuta and saxophonist Steve Tavaglione for an often burgeoning rock/funk groove. The guitarist shares lead soloing duties with “Yellowjackets” pianist, Russell Ferrante for an affable, lightly swinging rendition of “On The Trail,” yet the proceedings heat up during trumpeter Jeff Beal’s quasi Miles/contemporary jazz, straight-four composition titled, “Leap Of Faith.” Thus, Richman closes out the production with a silky smooth, straight ahead swing vamp of Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm,” while the latest installment of Live At The Baked Potato is all about upbeat grooves and sprightly soloing, although the fanfare wanes a notch or two upon subsequent spins.
