"Veteran sideman Lou Volpe has played with them all, from Hancock and Baker in the jazz category, to Minnelli and Midler in the pop side of things. He’s got blue collar working man’s sensibilities, able to get gritty and modal (“Coltrane of Though”) as well as mainstream (“One For Wes”). A nice, clean style of picking is noted on the title track and “Blue Boppa.” The rhythm team of Onaje Allan Gumbs/p, Bob Cranshaw/b and Buddy Williams/dr is spot on, cooking like simmering pasta sauce on “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise” or on the deft and bluesy “Astral Island.” Stuff this impressive makes you wonder why you haven’t heard more from this under the radar six stringer. Keep it coming!"
