简介
This ten track album opens and closes with gospel greats that will invoke upon, even the unreligious, the sentiment of toe tapping and swaying in wooden pews of an old southern church. Bullfrog Willard McGhee kicks things off by lending his guttural blues style vocals to the Wolves in Just a Closer Walk With Thee while a deluge of (7) horns, featuring the King of Funk Saxophone, Maceo Parker, along with one of the greatest tenor saxophone players of our time, Stephen Riley, bring the album to a close with His Eye Is On The Sparrow. While the beginning and end are certainly noteworthy, tracks 2 thru 9 do not disappoint. Trumpeter, Paul Rogers, who is featured on Smoke Rings, is also responsible for the handsome arrangement of the song. Mary Boone, Assistant Principal of the NC Symphony, is accompanied by former student, Murphy Chang, on Marymurph, a song that band leader, Peter Lamb, wrote specifically for the duo. Husband and wife team, Laura Windley and Lucian Cobb, of The Mint Julep Jazz Band, make being evil sound pretty good on track 5. Both Clark Gable and Fred Astaire would be made breathless by the quick tempo of Puttin’ On The Ritz on track 6, which features one of the greatest, unknown, bass players of all time, George Knott with brothers Peter Lamb and Paul Rogers on tenor sax and trumpet. Lead singer for Sidecar Social Club, Lisa Veronica Wood, harmonizes so beautifully alongside PLATW’s Mark Wells, with the rest of Sidecar backing them up, that you would never know this was the first time the two had performed together. Listeners get a special treat on Louisiana, executed by The Square Trio, which showcases the incredible voice of Mark Wells while playing stride piano with pals Peter Lamb and George Knott on tenor sax and bass. Finally, with his unsettling, woeful, electric guitar, Django Haskins warns against the foolishness of falling in love, while accompanied by his bandmate from The Old Ceremony, Mark Simonsen, in Under Paris Skies. Peter Lamb and The Wolves are: Peter Lamb – tenor saxophone, Mark Wells – vocals & piano, Stephen Coffman – drums, Paul Rogers – trumpet, & Pete Kimosh - bass
