Sounds LikeCrittendens R&B vocals marry 1970s soul with 1990s hip-hop in a party atmosphere that rules out individualism. -Jim Santella, allaboutjazz.com

Having earned respect on the national touring scene by playing his sax with the likes of Bob Weir, Michael Franti and Karl Denson, Eric Crittendens debut release, Blu takes the multi-instrumentalist (sax, keys and vocals), singer-songwriter beyond his horn and on the fast track to success. Collaborating with Soulives’ Eric Krasno and Rob Wasserman on a couple tracks, this front man-entertainer is at a whole new level. Crittendens’ Blu album is a jazz, rock-n-soul tour de force. With proactive lyrics, soulful vocals and blazing sax leads, Blu is as progressive as it is classic. Crittenden has a unique way of taking progressive new steps in music all the while keeping it in the vein of the old school. Im a medium of sorts, says Crittenden. I play the instruments and write the lyrics, but the music plays me; it’s that simple. From his musical birth Eric Crittenden, a Buffalo NY native, was brought up to the funk and feel-good soul sound of Motown, after-all his father played with James Brown. But it was later on in his 20s that he really discovered jazz and organic self-expression. Listening to and being influenced by Eddie Harris, Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and Pink Floyd to name a few, completely changed his life and he started on a path of feel-good genre mixing that is accessible to everyone. For me, in order to go forward you have to go back, says Eric; “I was raised with old- school r & b and soul and my father played with James Brown for 13 years.” “This is who and what I am all about, however this is a new era and music needs evolution and I’m fortunate to be able to do my part”. Blu marks a new level of maturity and sophistication for Crittenden. While he is no stranger to the road and making records, this will mark Crittendens first real national effort. Crittendens’ band Juke Joint Blue will be on tour in support of the record through out the summer and fall. What can you expect from a Juke Joint Blue show? You’re just going to have to check it out and see for your self! -namaste

Fresh Guac - "The Gang Green LP" 9.26.09

FRESH GUAC : THE GANG GREEN LP

NOW AVAILABLE FROM DTR45




Modern guacamole comes in a variety of forms and the same can be said about Fresh Guac. Let’s not get it twisted, the 2 are completely different. For one, you can’t eat hip-hop music, but you can dip your hips, much like you can dip the chip. Furthermore, you can rock out to both the edible version of Guacamole and the audible version at a party. So, we feel the title is just and well worthy of comparison. The Spaniards stole the recipe from the Aztecs and they stole the musical version from NYC, but it all equates to good feelings, vibes and relativity. As you listen to this record, think about the metaphor between the edible and audible Guacamole…It’s made from the heart, soul and culture from which it originated. The sound is undoubtedly fresh and without comparison, so when you finally get the chance to indulge, you’ll know its Fresh Guac!
