What do you get when you cross a singer-songwriter with a guitar virtuoso? With Bobby Cadmus you get this and a whole lot more. From coffeehouses to concert halls, Bobby has entertained audiences with a unique blend of sounds and stories. With the addition of Joe Russo on bass and David Wiesner on drums, he is able to strike his listeners with a 3 dimensional attack that leaves one wondering: "How can only 3 people produce a sound so full and so complex?"
The secret begins with a musician who has dedicated his life with learning and studying many types of music from the last 400 years to the present. When you have someone who has performed from singing Bach chorals, playing big band jazz guitar, playing drums in a blues band and singing and playing harmonica in a solo acoustic performance, you have more than just an ordinary performer. You have a musician who can be a clinician every time he sets foot on the stage.
Next we have a writer and lyricist whose influences are so diverse and so vast, they range from 19th century slave's field hollers, Broadway shows of the middle 20th century, blues artists from the 1930s like Robert Johnson, and to artists of the latter half of the 20th century like Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
With bassist Joe Russo,Bobby has found the perfect musician to extend and expand his musical arrangements to the stage as well as having someone capable of being able to give Bobby enough inspiration to grow.
With David Wiesner on drums,Bobby has found a musician who has a knack of providing the dynamics and vitality needed to strengthen the group's intensity. David has helped breathe fresh air into the band with his valuable input and ideas giving Bobby and Joe room to augment their improvisations on the groups extended jams to a higher level.
Experiencing Bobby Cadmus play live is a pleasure you won't soon forget and now with the release of the CD "Love Never Dies", you can take that pleasure with you.

Please
log in to review the album.
do pick up this treasure trove of diverse ear candy.

i must say that this cd is a wonderful listening experience.
this musical offering of mr. cadmus' indeed covers many area's of the musical spectrum.
it is sad however, that local radio covered this diverse album to the very minimum.
as a former student of bob's, i learned much from him about the art of music, recording, and various other important aspects namely pertaining to writing and the structuring of a song.
on occasion, i still get together w/ bob and joe (i have yet to meet their new drummer) and mostly blend my keyboard sound (piano and jazz /blues organ) w/ their already unique structured soundscape, in mr. russo's basement.
as an ecclesiastical musician (i play in a black church; keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals) i still look to bob for advise on sacred and various other musical arangments.
"love never dies" is a true piece of musical ingenuity. an amalgam of the singer/songwriting genre w/the progressive sound of rock, blues, jazz, and a slice of classical. i guess you could compare bob to the likes of john mayer, to whom i also admire.
do pick up this treasure trove of ear candy, i promise you will eat it up, time and again.
and catch the "bobby cadmus band" live. you will enjoy his renditions of mile davis, charlie parker, cream, as well as many other cutting edge artists that influenced his stage persona through the years.
