Greg Piccolo & Heavy Juice - Acid Blue (1995)

The second solo album by Greg Piccolo is a skilled tenor saxophonist, singer and composer, one of the founders and leaders of Roomful of Blues. On this disc Greg also recorded guitar parts (and did it, by the way, very well!), And he helps the group Heavy Juice, named after his first solo album. As part of the group on the keys and the ageless Hammond B3, Greg's old companion is the masterful rumfunker Ron Levy.

The second solo album has more vocal tracks - 7 out of 12, five author's tracks, and the rest of the covers. Arrangements are not so saturated, so the game of Greg and Ron Levy comes to the fore. The disc is quite diverse stylistically: blues, jamp-blues, funk, jazz, reggae, mambo, pop. The first half, perhaps, is more interesting (more jazz and blues), in the second half the more pop-component is more pronounced. Played professionally, recorded qualitatively, the impression is generally good.
