|
|
|
"On his new CD "Under The Influence," Tuey Connell displays a versatility that transcends his singing...The band
supporting [Tuey Connell's] effort is top-notch, featuring Steve Klink on piano, bassist Henning Gailing, Marcus
Rieck on drums and Geof Bradfield on tenor sax... Klink, Gailing, Rieck and Bradfield each lends his distinct
voice during solos, yet meshes flawlwessly as a unit, playing with confidence and crispness."
"... one thing that Connell has done very well is choose an outstanding backing band. That band is the Steve Klink
Trio, with Steve Klink on piano, Henning Gailing on bass and Marcus Rieck on drums. Each is an outstanding musician
in his own right, and they play exceptionally well together, giving Connell very solid support..."
"Backed by the masterful Steve Klink Trio."
"His most recent release, Under The Influence, features his adventurous banjo and guitar solos as well as lush
lead vocals backed by a fine group that includes pianist Steve Klink, bassist Henning Gailing, tenor saxophonist
Geof Bradfield and drummer Marcus Rieck."
"The Steve Klink Trio backs Connell with an expertise of styles from straight-ahead to folk-blues jazz. When you
add three Connell originals in new-standard style with smart arrangements by Connell, Klink and Bradfield, you
have an album that thankfully goes beyond the same-old/same-old".
"...The trio of the pianist Steve Klink and saxophonist Geof Bradfield supremely satisfies..." |
