“Alto saxophonist Marcus Monteiro, along with John Harrison III on piano, Fernando Huergo on bass, and Steve Langone on drums present Another Part of Me, a jazz album that draws upon both classic and contemporary musical stylings. Original, windswept, and masterful, Another Part of Me is a treasure for jazz connoisseurs. The tracks are “Sister Sadie” (6:03), “Adagio” (7:28), “For Once in My Life” (5:25), “The Monteiro Backhand Var. 1” (4:14), “Easier Said Than Done” (6:25), “Wait Till You See Her” (5:58), “Another Part of Me” (4:13), “Slammin’ Around” (5:12), “Receipt Please” (3:25), “Fell On Black Days” (4:35), “Mill Street” (7:51), “Sagg Shootin’ His Arrow” (5:11).”

Veteren guitarist Reggie Young Steps Into the forefront

Veteren guitarist Reggie Young Steps Into the forefront

Forever young 3/3
D. Oscar Groomes- Veteran guitarist Reggie Young has spent most of his life in supporting roles to stars like Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley. On Forever Young he steps into the forefront as a leader performing seven classics with a decidedly contemporary, pop vibe. There’s a smoky blues groove on “Memphis Grease” and a laid back relaxed feel on “It’s About Time” and “Exit 209”. The latter two illustrate the dominant theme on a late but respectable debut.Image result for reggie young forever young
