Tony says...
Thinking of having a party or just need to listen to some fun stuff, Fiery Blues is the one! I love this one because I recorded it in my new "Columbus Sound" studio having 3 different sessions to bring in some of Columbus' greats for the CD. I also wanted to capture the "Columbus " organ sound as many great jazz organists like Don Patterson & Hank Marr were my early influences growing up. We had some good food and wine during the sessions and just kept the tape rolling as we were having a ball! Put this disc on rotation with some of your other "party time" recordings and you'll definitely find yourselves and friends tapping their feet if not grooving like mad, I know we were!
JazzTimes, February, 2005, review
Columbus, Ohio native Tony Monaco is a monster B3 player with a penchant for blazing Jimmy Smith-style blues excursions with his right hand. The aptly named The Fiery Blues (Summit) is an exhilarating collection of slow blues (Hank Marr's "Greasy Spoon," T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday"), jump blues (Memphis Slim's "Every Day I Have the Blues"), shuffle blues (Don Patterson's "Goin' to a Meetin'," Leon Spencer's "The Hooker") and swinging blues (Patterson's "Mellow Soul," Miles Davis' "All Blues," Horace Silver's "The Preacher") that showcase Monaco's formidable technique and real-deal feeling. With the exception of Joey DeFrancesco, no one else can burn a blue streak as hot as this monster Monaco.
