[Dixielandjazz] "Sunflower City" CD by Matt Perrine

[Dan Augustine]

Folks--
     Gotta tell you about a new CD by Matt Perrine called "Sunflower 
City".  He plays sousaphone in New Orleans, and this CD rocks, it 
cooks, and Matt has some wonderful and amazing solos on it.  The 
tunes are kind of New Orleans jazz (duh), Cajun/funk sometimes, 
ballads ("I May Be Wrong" reminds me of the Reynolds Brothers Rhythm 
Rascals in its style).  He's got great sidemen on the CD, such as 
Connie Jones and Tim Laughlin, and this is no 
weird-tunes-by-the-bass-player CD, this is a bunch of good music that 
also has some excellent sousaphone-playing.
     You can hear some cuts from it and buy it at 
http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/showoneprod.asp?ProductID=5349 
and while you're at the Louisiana Music Factory you might bump into 
some other good CDs you can buy there (i got a Louis Prima CD and 
also one by Pud Brown).
     Great stuff by one of the best jazz-tubists anywhere.

     Dan
