CD REVIEW:
By: Ferdinand Maylin-

This music is infectious. The band plays most of the
numbers with a fine, brash, acetic edge. James B. Scott sounds a mean,
dirty horn with a sharp and impressive tongue in Black Bottom
Stomp. The piano playing of Tom McDermott in Fingerbreaker was
exhilarating - such clean articulation and control - I could see the
smoke rising as the piano subsided into the stage floor. Watch out for
the full tone of Tim Laughlin on clarinet in Sweet Substitute -
its always good for a front man to have a trusted and reliable rhythm
section; always in safe hands with this lot. Some good style playing
from everyone in Tiajuana and Panama showed how well
they integrate with each other.
Jelly Roll could only be pleased.
