about

This live CD captures "Jimmy Mak's signature group" (The Oregonian) tearing it up at that renowned Portland music venue (now sadly closed). Below is the CD review that appeared in Downbeat Magazine:

“Something special happens when this local quintet appears at Jimmy Mak’s jazz club in Portland, OR. Playing “Hip Shaker” and “House of the Rising Sun,” saxophonist Renato Caranto works himself into a state of wild excitement worthy of a honking tenorman walking the bar in R&B’s golden age. On the aforementioned and most of the other well-played songs, drummer Mel Brown, guitarist Dan Balmer and swinging organ player Louis Pain evince a more temperate but equally convincing affinity for the blues.” --Frank-John Hadley, Downbeat, August, 2014
