Bob Hanlon & Mark Minchello: Camaraderie

Mark Minchello brings his Hammond B3 to team up with meaty toned tenor saxist Bob Hanlon with a rotating rhythm team of Vic Juris-Bob Devos/g, Pete MacDonald-Andy Watson/dr and guest alto saxist Anton Denner for nine upbeat and toe tapping tunes. Juris’ rich tone and post bop licks work well on the peppy “Sambesque” and “Lovessence” while Devos bluesy strings stretch out on “Everything Happens to Me.” Hanlon’s horn is palpable as he flexes the biceps on “Close Your Eyes” and the rhythm team delivers a snappy and irresistible backbeat for Minchello’s Leslie’s to burst at the seams on “”Flat Tire Blues.” This one’s a blue plate special, sticking to your ribs.
