"No matter what group Riley puts together for a record date, he merits top marks every time" Ken Dryden (The New York City Jazz Record) attested on Riley's Hold'em Joe, here saxophonist Riley put together his first-ever organ trio with Brian Charlette, one of the hottest B-3 players today.

The organ trio setting propels Riley's unique sound to a new dimension.

"Riley continues to surprise listeners with his creative settings of familiar jazz."~Ken Dryden on 'Friday The 13th'https://www.propermusic.com/sccd31932-my-romance.html

In May of 1968, Lew Soloff got the call to replace Randy Brecker in a fledging jazz/rock band called Blood, Sweat and Tears. The band became a immediate hit, selling millions of albums and winning a Grammy Award for their initial release. Since then, he has become one of New York's "first call" trumpeters and has never lost his love for jazz, which is apparent in his 1987 album, Speak Low. ~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Speak-Low-Lew-Soloff/dp/B001CJJPJK
