Shifting Sands by Bob Devos [Audio CD]

Description: Performer Notes: Personnel: Bob DeVos (guitar); Eric Alexander (saxophone); Dan Kostelnik (Hammond b-3 organ); Steve Johns (drums); Gary Fritz (percussion).A veteran of many organ/guitar/drum jazz trios, guitarist Bob DeVos hasn't had a lot of opportunities to record as a leader, but his second Savant CD also allows him to share his abilities as a composer. DeVos is a bluesy, soul-infused player, well accompanied by organist Dan Kostelnik and drummer Steve Johns, and his brisk, rhythmic treatment of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Mojave" gives it an entirely new character. The guitarist's lyrical "Shifting Sands" has a meditative gospel quality, while "A Different Dozen" puts a new twist on a regular 12-bar blues in an uptempo setting. Tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, like the leader a veteran of the late Charles Earland's combo, is a special guest on several tracks, highlighted by the funky arrangement of the standard "Willow Weep for Me," which also adds percussionist Gary Fritz. ~ Ken Dryden Producer: Bob DeVos Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Studio/Live: Studio Guest Artist: Eric Alexander Release Date: 24 October, 2006 Label: Savant Records (Jazz) Dimensions: 12.6 x 14.5 x 1 centimeters (0.06 kg)
