KDM002

Kevin Dorsey, double bass, electric bass guitar; Jerry Bower, congas, udu drum, shakers, clave, cymbal; Bob Piorun, acoustic, nylon, and steel-string electric guitars; Bill Pomares, tenor and soprano saxes, flute, and clarinet; Stein Rimehaug piano, keyboards, melodica

Kevin Dorsey lives in central New York where he composes and teaches music in schools from kindergarten through college. This is the second CD produced for the group, which includes musicians from the surrounding area. This is a well-played mixture and nicely mixed combination of eight songs consisting of straight-ahead Jazz and Latin rhythms. While nothing stands out as groundbreaking, there is enough substance for repeated listening.
