Demerle Band Dynamic Les - Comin' Home Baby - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the same way that Art Blakey or Buddy Rich drove their bands, DeMerle establishes an undeniable presence - Jazz Review. Cookin' at the Corner is the real deal, capturing a live jazz set in a real jazz club packed with loyal jazz fans. The music is hot and sweet, swinging and soulful. The Dynamic Les DeMerle Band is tight and grooves hard with creativity and passion, giving each tune in their classic repertoire the perfect color and shade to create the ultimate jazz rainbow. Featured besides Les DeMerle's fiery drumming are his and Bonnie Eisele's equally dynamic vocals, as they perform classics such as in a Mellow Tone, Caravan, Work Song and more.

Legendary drummer Les DeMerle injects a fiery Hot Club spirit into his latest Origin Recording. Along with the Django-inspired group InchGypsy PacificInch and vocalist Bonnie Eisele, DeMerle weaves a joyous musical tapestry as the group takes the gypsy-jazz energy of Reinhardt and Grappelli up a notch, reworking bebop staples such as Pent Up House and Yardbird Suite, or American Songbook classics such as Skylark and Old Man River. Recorded in Maui during a Hawaiian tour, Gypsy Rendezvous is a jubilant and relaxed jaunt through new musical territories for DeMerle's dynamic band.
