  • These guys in the band are exceptionally good.
    author: Lee Prosser Jazz Review

    Featured Artist: Last Trip CD Title: Up with 'da funk Year: 2001 Record Label: Grescotmar, Ltd. Style: Contemporary Jazz Musicians: Greg Badolato, tenor and soprano saxophones. Scott deOgburn, piano/synth. Charles "Dogg" Haynes, drums and percussion. Winston Maccow, 5/6 string basses. Mark White, guitars and guitar synth. Review: Last Trip has created a lively collection on their new CD release titled UP WITH 'DA FUNK. There are 10 selections on this CD, including "Reggaesphere," "Ballbag," "Peruvian Princess," "Arabesque," among others. These guys in the band are exceptionally good, and there is a strong sense of shared vision in their performances. Special attention to Scott deOgburn's innovative piano stylings and Mark White on guitars. Each member of Last Trip is a musician to the full, each performing some fine solo work. "Peruvian Princess" and "Monica" are lively and should catch the ears of every jazz listener! A fine outing is what you get with UP WITH 'DA FUNK.

  • It's definately worth your investment.

    Last Trip a good one, May 10, 2001 Reviewer: Tony Germain from Boston, MA USA I teach at the Berklee College of Music and am a performing jazz pianist, therefore I normally avoid reviews (and reviewers) . In this case, I am willing to make an exception, since I find this group musical in the extreme. I have watched and listened to their evolution over the last few years and am very pleased that they are finally out there. There are few enough really good, high-level musicians working and recording today, so when I hear something worth listening to more than once, people should know about it and be able to buy this CD. Word of mouth is just not enough anymore, so I sincerely suggest that you buy "Up with da Funk"...it's definitely worth your investment.

  • BUY THIS CD! You'll love it
    author: Steve Prosser

    This CD features some of the finest, most musically proficient and diverse musicians anywhere. The music, composed by band members White and DeOgburn, takes great advantage of these qualities. You can't really put a style title to the songs--"fusion," "funk," "jazz" alone don't describe what's happening. The songs are all of these styles and more. The music constantly challenges musical convention and simple expectations. The playing is virtuosic and there is some amazing soloing done by guitarist Mark White and the handsome tenor player, Greg Badolato. BUY THIS CD! You'll love it!!
