Dan Siegel: Origins

Keyboardist Dan Siegel brings together some mainstream all stars for a swinging set of originals. The First Call cast of Brian Bromberg/b-prod, Vinnie Colaiuta/dr, Lenny Castro/perc, Craig Fundyga/vib, Ramon Stagnaro/ag, Allen Hinds/eg and Rogerio Jardim/voc are cruising the Boulevard on all cylinders here. A dash of soul reminiscent of vintage Crusaders goes down easy on “Rite of  Passage” with some Latin pulsations sizzling on “Crossing” and “Lost and Found” Stagnaro’s classical guitar adds mystique to “Arabesque” while the leader is luscious with the rhythm section on the samba’d “After All” and luminescent “Moon and Stars.” Bromberg and Colaiuta team up like a set of stallions throughout the set, making every beat like that of a 1000 meter runner. A joy for the head and heart.
