This is a very ambitious & animated CD project dealing with instrumental areas that ''man has hardly dared yet to explore.'' I refer to Johnnie Valentino's New disc, & the creative interplay one hears between Randy Jone's tuba bass lines, & Mike Rossi's hard driving B3. The liner notes on the CD itself sum up the character of the project succinctly as it states...''This unchained, funky, toe-tapping tuba-organ quintet, full of catchy, irresistibly grooving tunes.'' All in all Johnnie & his group catch a highly individualistic style, with an array of gloriously fluid techniques expressed by the sidemen, and a seemingly endless flow of viable & linear harmonic & musical ideas.
