Peter Friedman Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 This CD I listened to this morning is clearly one of my favorite newly released recordings of 2011. Danny D'Imperio and The Upstate Burners - Live At The Rum Keg Lounge - VSOP Nick Brignola's playing is arguably the very best I have ever heard, and I have just about all his recordings. The alto player is basically an unknown guy named Frank Moser and he is excellent. This 1979 recording is filled with a huge amount of energy and excitement and will swing you into 2013. The audio quality is very good. I was a bit dubious about this CD but took a chance bought a copy. I am extremely glad I did as it is a total winner. Quote
marcello Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I remember this place! I went there once when Barry Kiener had a gig there with Danny and trumpeter John Marshall. I think I still may have a tape. I see that Barry plays on one tune on the CD : Danny D'Imperio and The Upstate Burners - Live At The Rum Keg Lounge - VSOPink Quote

I just received this CD the other day and it is one of the hottest recordings I have heard in a long while. Nick is just great, and the whole band plays up to his level. Thanks for the recommendation. Edited March 19, 2012 by John Tapscott Quote
Peter Friedman Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 John, glad you liked. I was somewhat surprised it was so damn good. Quote
