I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Man Who Would Be King, from Adam De Lucia and it’s quite interesting. Opening with Cycle One, guitarist Adam De Luca and Oz Noy open with clean, melodic, phrasing with Henry Hey on Rhodes piano sounding somewhat like a Jeff Beck/Max Middleton sequence before breaking into an excellent Cody McCorry bass solo pushed by Jordan Perlson on drums. Rocker, Store On The Corner, has a driving bottom courtesy of Tim Lefebvre on bass and Perlson on drums. Brian Lawlor on keys sets a melodic floor and Michael Ghegan on sax leads the way. De Lucia flexes his strat with some muscular riffs but keeping it to a solid jam. Will You Follow has an Asian feel with a modern Latin rhythm led by Hey on Hammond and Rhodes, light vocal melody by Chrissi Poland and Ghegan, and De Lucia on strat with an attack resembling classical Spanish acoustic. Lefeebvre and Perlson anchor the track on bass and drums. Quite different. Wrapping the release is Carousel featuring Oz Noy on guitars and Ghegan on soprano sax. With a funky rhythm courtesy Lefebvre and Perlson, excellent sax phrases traded with Noy on guitar, reinforced by Perlson, this is my favorite track on the release.
