[Harp-L] Maybe August: Rosco Selley

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Only having Two days at SPAH this year- it was almost a bit 
torturous...never enough time to get in on all the activities....

I did get a copy of Rosco Selley's band CD: MAYBE AUGUST and it is really a 
top notch Production with Primo playing, singing and songwriting...

Rosco's Diatonic weaves thru the tunes at times playing lead lines, 
harmonies and at other points just the perfect SOLO....His Tone, Intonation 
and Ideas combined with killer chops....no doubt make him avery shining star 
in this band as well as an integral part of their 'Original' sound.

The Horn arrangements as well as Tenor-Bari Saxophone work by Michael 
Peloquin really add a unique dimension and SO fit the tunes they were used 
on. Bravo to Rosco on a great CD and I vote to bring the WHOLE band to a 
SPAH outing SOON with the HORNS!

I had the pleasure to meet hang and play with Rosco many moons ago in North 
Carolina at the Levy Masterclass at Paul Messinger's. I was impressed then 
what I heard, but to hear him in HIS band is NOT to be missed.....

OK...enuff praise...now my complaint.....I needed a freakin' Magnifyin Glass 
as my 55 yr MAGOO eyes ain't that great anymore.....so on the next CD please 
use GEEZER FONT !!,-)


all the best,
Senior Citizen, Rob Paparozzi
