I heard JM sing 'Summertime' with Brian Blade 2-3 summers ago near Bethel, NY. The rhythm was LOST (I've played this song professionally for decades!)! but Blade played some pretty cymbal colors and it came off as a very unswinging and impressionistic version.
Crosby sponsored my first album, Horse of Stone, and I've always been grateful to him for it. CPR is a solid band although vocally not too strong, at least the time I heard them. Pevar and Raymond are both monster players. Croz's writing is good as usual. Tom Ross Mijazi Music (518) 372-2611 http://www.tom.rossweb.com
