Lucid
Culture 2010
Jazz falls into a lot of
categories: boudoir jazz, solace-after-a-rough-day jazz, late night
sleepy jazz, drunk jazz, fake jazz. Drummer Peppe Merolla debut as a
bandleader, Stick with Me, is party jazz. It’s the kind of album you
can actually put on repeat and not get sick of and it’s our favorite
so far this year. Tunes leap from the grooves (ok, the, um, bitmap) of
this one with a joyous exuberance that occasionally mellows out into
warmly expansive reflection, contentment with a job well done. Merolla
is a no-nonsense player with considerable wit, and the tone he sets is
contagious.
