Album Notes

Cheesecake features Leto, Duval and Siciliano reviving, exploring and uplifting eight songs by famous jazz musicians plus an original by Siciliano. The set begins with the title cut, a catchy Dexter Gordon line that has attractive minor-toned chord changes that clearly inspired the trio. A creative guitar solo, a chance for Duval to display his fluency on bass and a guitar/drums tradeoff effectively introduces the members of the trio.

Throughout Cheescake, an eclectic set of jazz, the team create fresh renditions of jazz standards

REVIEWS

Cheesecake
author: Hank Johnson
I found this album to be a wonderful display of Bob Leto's drumming talent. Bob Leto has a wonderful smooth touch on the drums and flawless timing following the intricate moving lines of Dominick Duval. Dominick Duval at times never runs out of notes and is a very busy player who allows his ego to dictate intricate bass lines showing off his deft artistry. I think his bass playing works well in a small group setting, but would be unproductive if a vocalist was present, not to say he can't play well behind a vocalist but he would be just too busy and dominating. The album is worth listening to and I would recomend it to jazz enthusiasts as a study in listening to those lines.
