Los Angeles-based singer-pianist Kirk Nelson has shared the stage and recorded with blues legends like Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Bo Diddley, The Neville Brothers, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Robert Cray.
In 2018, he founded Jambalaya West, with which he regularly performed at various Southern California venues, including The House of Blues. During the coronavirus pandemic, all performances were canceled. The band then realized this was an opportunity to write and record new material. This resulted in the release of the album "Lagniappe" in 2021. That album reached number one on the Roots Music Report jazzy blues charts in 2022.
In early January, Kirk Nelson & Jambalaya West released a new album. This album, "Savor The Moment," contains twelve songs: ten original compositions and two covers. On "Savor The Moment," Kirk Nelson combines his Midwest roots and West Coast influences with a generous dose of New Orleans funky jazz.
The party gets off to a flying start with the opening track, "Bounce Around." Funky jazz with trumpet, baritone sax, and trombone. "Only 12 Bars In A Day" gets us into the New Orleans spirit. Steve Crum's trumpet and Kirk Nelson's honky-tonk piano solo are delightful. The horn section, with a killer trombone solo by Dan Weinstein and the piano solo, swing alongside the tight rhythm section on "Stay In Your Lane."
The trumpets and trombone shine again in the soulfully sung "Back On Up The River." The fine guitar work is also impressive. Tom Cunningham solos beautifully on the funky jazzy "Must Be A Reason." When the tempo slows, as in the subdued sung "Swing 'So Low," it's simply a swing. With Tamale Man, featuring a famous trumpet solo by Cunningham, the atmosphere of New Orleans returns. The instrumental "Wake Up The Rooster" is pure funk with Hammond, synths, horns, and the fierce guitar licks of Joe Koepfli. "Turn Yourself In" is New Orleans jazz with clarinet, trumpet, cornet, tuba, and even a banjo. The rhythm section of Mitch Montrose and Brian Beal is in full swing in "Radical."
"Basin Street Blues," the 1928 Spencer Williams classic, and recorded by many, is also a joy to listen to in the Kirk Nelson & Jambalaya West version, especially thanks to the beautiful contribution of Weinstein on cornet and trombone. "I'm Beginning To See The Light," the 1944 jazz standard by Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges, Harry James, and Don George, is all about swinging. Conclusion: ‘Savor The Moment’ is an effervescent and exciting album that rocks the speakers.
