Sounds that combine the worlds of The Ventures, Santo & Johnny and Dick Dale are created by Ikebe Shakedown on this album of 12 songs. Consisting of Jason Colby/tp, Dave Bourla/pec, Barnaby Alter/dr, Vince Chiarito/b, Mike Buckley/sax-fl, Robin S chmidt/g and Nadav Nirenberg/tb-key create concise home-penned originals that get R&B soulful as on “Assassin” or funky like the Sons of Champlin during “Blue Giant.” The horns give a hip framework on the Memphisy “Where the Day Breaks” and rocking “Supermoon” while Schmidt’s guitar gets the surf up on “Penny the Snitch” and “ Five For Five.” Hard not to stay off the dance floor with these guys.Ikebe Shakadown: The Way Home
