Joe
Cerrito has worked with music legends Bob Wilbur, Claude Thornhill,
Steve Allen, Sarah Vaughan, Harry Belafonte and a long list of
others. Recently, he appeared in the movie "True Lies". This jazz
album "Dedication" is dedicated to some very important people
named Joe - Joe Petteruti, Joe Biviano, grandson Joey and Tony
"Joe" Dannon who also composed the last two songs on this album..
This CD certainly represents the
finest example of truly good jazz accordion. Joe Cerrito is without
doubt a fine and competent jazz accordionist. Joe is a convincing
improviser, plays with a lot of style and with that 'groovy' feeling,
so all the ingredients of a good jazz accordionist are there.
The other guys in the band who play bass, trumpet and drums are
equally good too, (I thought the trumpet player was especially
'cool'), altogether making it a great jazz accordion recording.
