Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap

Cut the guy some slack.  Just because he’s been the sax man with AWB 2.0 for the last ten years doesn’t mean he wasn’t good enough for the original crew, it just means he wasn’t old enough, as the rest of his stellar resume and cast of characters will attest.  Never too hip for the room and always in party mode, Freddy knows his sax inside and out and knows how to find pals that enjoy playing along.  A Friday afternoon yuppie special, this is smooth jazz that’s miles away from biz-jazz, with funk and good vibes for all.  Check it out.
