Garland Jeffreys - 14 Steps To Harlem (2017)

Produced with James Maddock and featuring core touring band, guests Brian Mitchell and Ben Stivers, a duet with daughter Savannah and a radiant violin solo by Laurie Anderson, this record delivers Jeffreys’ literate, emotionally raw lyrics coupled with a still supple voice capable of singing in a practically limitless number of styles. Garland Jeffreys has been making provocative, personally charged urban rock and roll since the late 1960s. This New York native continues to record and perform with the energy of a man half his age. - Zev Katz played bass for Suzanne Vega, Beth Hart, Marc Anthony, Elton John, Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music, Dolly Parton, Billy Joel, Cindy Lauper. - Brian Stanley played bass for Bryan Adams, Mike Scott/The Waterboys. - Steve Goulding drummer from 1975 - 1981 in The Rumour, the band of Graham Parker, 1981 - 1982: Recorded & toured with Garland Jeffreys (Escape Artist album), 1983 - 1984: Member of Gang Of Four until their split, 1985 - 1991 / 1993 - ...: Member of The Mekons. - Aaron Comess is one of the founding members and drummer of the Spin Doctors. - Roman Klun worked i.e. with Sarah MacLachlan and The Holmes Brothers and was nominated twice for Grammys.
