Phill Freeman and The Best

Went to a private party this weekend where the entertainment was Phill Freeman (who has the lowest voice I've ever heard this side of Barry White) and his accompanying band, The Best. And they were! Ron D'Angelo on horn--always great to hear, Jimmy Richmond on sax and some vocals (not enough), Joe Chiappone smokin' on guitar as always, Steve Curry keeping the groove nicely on the drums, Mark Cassara on sax and vocals--no one plays like him, and Casey Filiaci who was a "new find" for me, and I really enjoyed him.

There were people on the dance floor for just about every number, and Jimmy Richmond filled it with "the ladies" for his trademark tune, "Get Up." Even I danced to that! The band looked like they were having some fun, too, which is always a good thing.

yours in music,
Tracy
