[CD Review] Zydeland by The Gumbo Gumbas
Written, arranged, produced, sung and honked on his tenor sax, Grillo imbues Zydeland with a Bourbon Street beat. He’s an honorary French Quarter denizen of the night. Of course, there’s always time to also invoke a little Tom Waits on highlight “Can’t Go Back To New Orleans.” The colors mix and mingle with tuba, banjo, guitar, violin, viola, cello, trombone, accordion, piano, bass, clarinet, soprano sax, trumpet and that penetrating percolating percussion. Excuse me, I got to get on up and do the boogaloo. You just can’t sit still for this thing.
