POPULAR music has a kooky way of recycling, revamping and re-inventing itself, "retro" being the buzzword of late. It's no wonder a band like Nutty would come along and blend it all together like the perfect martini. And blend they do. It's almost a lesson in music appreciation for both the pop/rock crowd and the jazz set. I don't know that many folks who include both styles in their listening library . . . Nutty takes, for the most part, the lesser covered but quite easily recognizable rock favorites and twists, shakes and stirs them up with equal parts BeBop, Cocktail Jazz, Crime Jazz, Straight-Ahead and Swing--often times incorporating excerpts from equally recognizable jazz staples and even TV/movie themes of yore--creating renditions that either work conceptually, musically or are just plain nutty.Consider MILES AND MILES AND MILES; The Who gone Latin, with an homage to Mr. Davis in the form of several song references (I counted six, but who's counting?). Paul McDonald leads us in with a dead giveaway on piano, then commands the Rhodes from there. It's when frontman Sonny Moon starts to sing with that suave intensity that we get our bearing and go with the flow of this Townshend tune remodeled. And if some don't get it, So What? Oh, and when trumpet virtuoso Carl Saunders softly blows a solo off the Sketches Of Spain riff . . . wowsville!Then there's HEART FULL OF (DOUBLE-O) SOUL, of the similar title made famous by The Yardbirds (say, where'd they get that moniker?!). Hmmm . . . could Mr. Bond be lamenting over the spy who left him? We get an essence of Spillane with Elliott Caine's muted trumpet solo, with Mike Rose's soulful tenor lurking in the shadows in cool pursuit.Listen, when Sonny says THE BOYS ARE BACK AT DINO'S, odds are he's found Frank, Dean and Sammy at the bar--at least in spirit(s)! The strings remind me of Sinatra/Basie somehow, and the shout vocals give this ...

On one beautiful sunny day last spring, I noticed my wife, Michele sitting at a table that overlooks the patio of our home in Orlando, Fla. That table had become a symbol to us as a private place in our bedroom, where over a cup of coffee or glass of wine, we would discuss important matters, make decisions, dream of the future or just contemplate the beginnings of the universe. The table was only for two, yet sort of a forum for our sharing of ideas, feelings and communication. As I observed Michele on this particular day, with earphones on and a notebook and pen in hand, I realized that the table for two had now taken on an additional yet new functional role. In psychological parlance, this phenomenon was often referred to as the empty nest syndrome. Both our children, Rashida and Kiar were now away in college. Although rewarding, the challenges and responsibilities of child rearing were no longer the focal point in our lives. Yet this did not seem so devastating as anticipated. Michele seemed finally able to sense a release of her own creative energy to write and compose music. I too, having recently retired from my profession, felt the freedom to pursue my interests in writing and research in regional African-American history. So out of this, the song: TABLE FOR TWO was inspired. The feeling could not have been more succinctly expressed, than in Michele's words:" You and I alone, sitting at our private little table. No kids, No mama, No Papa, No cousins, No brothers. No Sisters. Just you and I, Not even a dog can come in tonight." Throughout the 80s and 90s, Michele's performances increasingly accumulated an enthusiastic audience from New York (her original beginnings) to the summer vacationers ...
