Night at the Speakeasy

Guy Eckstine might not be able to put his feet up on the desk at 825 8th anymore but he still has all the verve his daddy left on his DNA in tact. Surrounding a New York treat that convenes on Monday nights with a crew of players that would be household names if there was still a real record business investing jazz, this genre twisting trip to the '30s speak easy in the back of your mind is simply classic, jazzbo thrush all the way. A most grand adult listening diversion, this is the kind of record that should be on year end top ten lists instead of the usual knee jerk picks. Killer stuff that's sure to have you saying '23 skidoo' to everyone but Svetlana, it's fun stuff to the max that shows what happens when you let creative people with chops do their thing.
