Professor John's music in the movies! "Down On The Farm" (from the critically acclaimed album "Big Hands") appeared in the trailers for Paramount Picture's 2006 animated feature "BARNYARD". "The movie stank but that music sure was good!" - Matt Kern More on that: "Watching pianist Professor John lead his band, you get the sense that the larger-that-life ivory pounder could go over the edge at any moment. Filled with energy, he attacks the piano keys, pummeling single-note runs with the force of a linebacker and nailing note clusters with his elbow. Away from the piano, he stomps on the stage until you think he might break a boot through it, cajoles women to join him in near debauchery and dances joyously around waving a skull staff in an effort to stir the well-oiled crowd...." - Dave Zaworski (Associate Editor, Down Beat Magazine) "I've heard several fine blues piano discs in the past year or two but Professor John approaches the music not as an elegant jazz spin-off, more like a rowdy rock'n'roll precursor that most people have forgotten ever existed. There was a time when sax and piano (rather than guitar) were considered THE rock instruments, and Professor John recalls those days with fervor. He has an aggressiveness that no one else appears to possess." - James Porter (Chicago New City Journal)
