Long Time Comin’ Album Review
by Chris Spector
January 15, 2011

 If you aren’t from the Bay area where this cat holds forth to great acclaim, you may wonder what this album of covers is all about.  A soul singing piano man, he finds his footing in Curtis Mayfield’s early 70s vibe after leaving the Impressions when political and Paul Williams found their way to wax, side by side.  He’s a solid entertainer reminding you about the works of Oscar Brown, Zawinul, Duke, Les McCann as well as Marlene Dietrich and Cole Porter.  He’s earned his spurs and honed his chops and knows how to lead a right on journey through the past that is relevant to the present.
