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. **** |
