…while you’re there, be sure you SUBSCRIBE to Rich’s YouTube channel – I did it right away.

Wally’s Rhodes on the 7:05 “Blessed Are The Hip” is absolutely tasty, and I’ve no doubt jazz DJ’s around the world are going to pick this full-bodied and high-energy tune for regular rotations!

The title track, “Conspiracy“, is just LADEN with great horn work, and the rhythms will give jazz lovers that good ol’ “hip-shakin'” feeling… if you’re not dancing by the second bar, I’ll be mighty surprised… a real sense of “FUN” comes through in the band’s playing, too.

Since my orientation is towards raw and unadulterated energy, it was easy to choose the 5:31 “Adrenaline Rush” as my personal favorite of the eleven amazing tunes… this thing swings from the very first note, & will have you rockin’ the night away – the Hammond is KILLER!

I give Rich and his players a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 4.99 for this most desirable jazz adventure… jazz just doesn’t get any better than this.  Get more information on Rich’s Boptism Music page for the release.                       Rotcod Zzaj
