notes
Hear why Offbeat Magazine says, "Johnny Vidacovich is not only one of the greatest drummers in New Orleans - he's one of the greatest drummers in the world."
This is Johnny Vidacovich's third and most diverse CD, presenting his artistry as the central theme. Vidacovich plays a series of interspersed duo pieces, that stand out on their own or materialize as a result of a groove. Using an eclectic sound of accompanying instrumentation, with sousaphone, keyboards, bass, saxes, bass clarinet and guitar, Johnny boils up the beat and occasionally seasons it with some of his out-da-box poetry recitation.
Along with Michael Pellera and Jeffrey Meyer, Johnny has contributed to this playground of songs which free the players to romp to his beat. Pellera, Matt Perrine, Tony Dagradi and Shane Theriot, all add the right flavor to this great recording, allowing the listener to savor the main ingredient, Johnny Vidacovich.

Johnny - Master of Insight!
author: Mz. G. Presents:Okay - bottom line...he lives out his own advice. He says, "don't forget to have fun!" Johnny's true master of PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH! Buy this CD and then listen - have fun - put your own space in between what you hear, see, feel. The music is perfectly blended in clean mud. Dip your toes in, get wet, get muddy with movement. As Cut #10 advises: Ya' better play! This CD makes a good friend. Put it on and PLAY.
WOW ! If you like music, you need this CD !!!
author: Holly Earmuffin ProductionsLet me just say, that we here at Holly Earmuffin Productions have been fans of Johnny Vidacovich for decades ! And this new CD is the best yet! As far as rhythm goes he is way ahead of his time. From vivid, melodic interpretaions to stonecold funked out grooves to the most sparkling, definite jazz playing ever, JV is the man. It's no wonder with so much talent on his instrument that his songs (like his solos) are richly woven, multidimensional textures of sound-stories. My personal favorite is Deb's Garden ( the real thing is also excellent). What is amazing though, no matter how fabulous the recordings are, seeing him live is like going on a trip to the hall of the drum angels. Get out there, immerse yourself in his music, your soul will be elevated, your mind stimulated and your body grateful to move to his grooves!
