Renowned jazz pianist Tony Caramia writes: "This CD should come with seat belts and a warning about excessive amounts of white-knuckle, adrenaline-charged, exuberant effervescence! The energy from these flying fingers borders on exhausting, exhilarating, exciting, and downright giddy."
After years of performing together informally at festivals across the country, Martin finally got his musical wish granted when he teamed up with internationally renowned, Grammy-winning percussionist Danny Coots (dannycoots.com) and ragtime superstar Brian Holland (shanesmohawk.com) for a refreshing album of hot ragtime, boogie, blues, and jazz. |

The playlist embraces classic ragtime (Adaline Shepherd's "Pickles and Peppers" and James Scott's "Frog Legs Rag"), jazz standards ("I Got Rhythm," "What a Wonderful World," and "The Way You Look Tonight"), a few TV themes ("Three's Company" and the theme of the "Carol Burnett Show"), and a nod to the Nashville sound ("For the Good Times").
The disc includes more than 72 minutes of music and a handsome full-color booklet with detailed notes by Brian Holland. "Fasten your seat belts," Caramia warns, "it's going to be one heck of a ride." |
