Album Review
MC Dizzy Jackson
Reviewed 2013-12-27
A drums / piano duo of Michael Caskey and Johnny Iguana belting out a highly-charged set of rollicking, barnburning numbers. Think upbeat piano of Ray Charles, Mose Allison, Ethan Iverson (The Bad Plus) with drums as Keith Moon (The Who) would sound like in a lively jazz setting. It’s the best of barrelhouse, stride, boogie-woogie jazz, bluse, r&b. All INSTRUMENTAL. This stuff KILLS!! No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: All kick ass.

1. (2:54) Mid. Bright, rollicking ride.
2. (3:13) Mid / Fast. Strong, forceful tour-de-force.
3. (3:20) Mid / Fast. Urgent w/ lots of black key strikes.
4. (3:14) Mid. Touch-n-go piano phrases w/ big bass drum.
5. (2:41) Mid / Fast. Lots of upbeat Ray Charles.
6. (2:49) Mid / Fast. Catchy piano, strong beat.
7. (3:08) Mid / Fast. Title track. Noir-ish vibe. Killer.
8. (4:00) Slow / Mid. Cool down late-night jazz.
9. (3:09) Mid. Easy-going bluesy jazz.
10. (2:39) Fast. Amped up noir.
11. (2:32) Mid / Fast. Big sound w/ dramatic strikes.
12. (3:18) Mid. Alternates between loud and semi-soft.
13. (2:35) Mid. Heavy yet light, a bit of classical flair.
