Good Eats

Released (2011)

The "Melting Pot" puts one part New Orleans, two parts New York and a side trip around Europe dashing out just the right ingredients to invigorate your intellect and feed your soul. A slow cooking rhythm section seasoned with Rapp's tasty trumpet is the recipe here. Recognizing Sweet Papa Lou Donaldson as one of the pivotal composer/bandleaders of the modern era, the "Melting Pot" reinvents a few of his best gems adding a flavorful bite of their own. With Joe Kaplowitz on Hammond B3 organ, Ahmad Mansour on guitar, Klemens Marktl on drums and acclaimed saxophonist Don Braden as special guest, this is the musical mirepoix your ears have been craving. This is Good Eats!
