do pick up this treasure trove of diverse ear candy.
author: d. "jake" jacobson
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.
