Joe Deninzon's virtuosic
violin playing adds an elegant grace and down-home
spunk to the rest of the musicians' fusion
grooves. On this live album recorded in Erie,
Pennsylvania, Deninzon run through several numbers
of hot jazz rock, highlighted by some dazzling
playing by the members of Stratospherius (a
variation of Stradivarius-get it, Deninzon'a
violinist)-guitarist Jake Ezra, bassist Ron Baron,
and drummer Luciana Padmore. In additiono to
several of his originals, Deninzon's also does a
rip-roaring version of the Simpson's theme and an
acid-funk take on Stevie Wonder's Contusion.
Fusion music may not be everyone's bag (there is
some people out there who revile it), but this
album might prove the contrary through the amazing
musicianship.
