HOLYLAND

Tony Senatore is one of those unknown american bass players that when your hear his album then instantly you'll like it. Even he has a lot of years behind as musician, he came only with one album under his name in 2005 named Holyland. The pieces goes from mellow side of jazz fusion to more up tempo with horns and all the ingredients needs such music. Also here are some covers from Beatles, Zappa that in this context are excellent made. He is taken influences in his playing from the masters like Pastorius, Coltrane, etc. Pieces like A Black Place, Lord Of The Subtones and the cover version of Zappa are pure pleasure to listen, a combination of jazz rock with fusion elements. A very underated musician IMO, that needs a far better exposure world wide, he is one of the bassist that use the instrument in an elegant manner with plenty of great and intresting chops. 4 stars.
