"...Hittin' The Blue Notes, Volume One attains a level of excitement that can't fail to engage an audience."
---Jazz Review
The appropriately named Dynamic Les DeMerle Band is back for volume two with arrangements on some of the great hits of the Blue Note record label and tunes that evoke the spirit of those recordings. As an added bonus, volume two features two tracks with the legendary blues vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon. About volume one, Jazz Review wrote "His band is dynamic, in large part because of the irresistible beat that DeMerle sets up for each tune, and also because the other members of his band share DeMerle's unabashed love of the Blue Note classics, expressed in tribute with reverence, without solemnity, but with a propulsive style that's consistent with the inspiring nature of the original recordings." |
