Fly the Rocket

by: The Duffy Bishop Band

June 15, 1999
The Duffy Bishop Band is a BIG Band complete with Guitar, Bass, Sax, Clarinet, Flute, Drums, Piano, Organ, Trumpets, Congas, Shaker, Tamborine and the wide ranging vocals of Duffy Bishop. The Band puts out over 73 minutes of original low key, often jazzy, Big Band blues in the style of a Roomful of Blues. The arrangement on all songs is first rate, the lyrics are wity and clever and the vocals are excellent.

This music is for quite times and goes better with a glass of wine rather than a bottle of beer. If you like that Big Band sound with sultry, powerful vocals, this is your CD. While not my music preference, its so well done that I had to give it a full house or 5 stars.

Side One

by: Jim Duffy

May 01, 2005
If there is a place for instrumental pop music that isn't soulless and robotic or sugery sweet then this be it. This disk is teeming with life - real musicians grooving to the real thing. If you dig Medeski, Martin and Wood or the Mancini covers done by the Oranj Symphonette (and if you haven't yet, check them out too) you don't have to go back to the mono days of Bacharach, et. al to appreciate these guys. The analog stereo creates a nice smooth feel you won't find on most contemporary jazz records. And, God love the rhythm section -- Diken and friends propel these tunes into that little cranny in the back of your brain, landing directly on that musical G-spot. Go ahead, enjoy.
