Tunes Trip to the Moon, the newest FootLoose CD, features a contemporary take on traditionally-inspired tunes. In typical FootLoose style, this recording offers stellar high-energy performances, showcasing tight, sophisticated arrangements and solid improvisations in a wide variety of styles, tempos and textures. Drawing on a diverse repertoire from traditional Irish, Southern old time, original and other sources, the recording is heavily influenced by today's contra dance aesthetic. But it doesn't stop there! Also featured is Rex McGee's virtuosi playing on fiddle and banjo, a new and luscious tango waltz composed by David DiGiuseppe, Dean Herington's wailing clarinet leading a medley of Macedonian tunes, Jim Robert's ever-creative and powerful drum-laden grooves, plus a few surprises. And it's all held together by Pete Campbell's sultry piano playing. A lively world fusion of new and old, Trip to the Moon is guaranteed to keep those feet tapping. |
