Pianist
John Sheridan delivers another superb album of swing jazz and standards with his Dream Band on Easy as It Gets. Once again featuring the talents of cornetist Randy Reinhart, trombonist Russ Phillips, clarinetist Ron Hockett, tenor saxophonist
Scott Robinson, guitarist Bob Leary, bassist Phil Flanigan, drummer
Joe Ascione, and, of course, vocalist
Rebecca Kilgore, the band is traditional and old-timey without seeming staid. A solid dance-oriented ensemble,
Sheridan's Dream Band keeps the tone light and lively with lesser performed songs including "You Leave Me Breathless," "Me, Myself and I (Are All in Love With You)," and "Devil May Care." Fans of old-school jazz should be very pleased with Easy as It Gets. ~ Matt Collar
