Description
Something Special, this newest offering from Larry Vuckovich, creates a strong "Blue Note" flavor of soulful, swinging Jazz. The selections reflect the pianist's important early influences, honoring the Jazz masters who inspired him when he first began playing Jazz. Vuckovich runs his deft fingers across the keys on some rare compositions, such as Horace Silver's languid "Enchantment" and Sonny Clark's "Somethin' Special", the album's title track. He presents guest artist, classic tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, in a slightly different light from Scott's past recordings. Hamilton shines as he plays compositions of the Bebop masters, newly introduced to him, such as Dexter Gordon's "Cheese Cake", as well as the Clark piece, and the funk classic of Ben Tucker's "Comin' Home Baby". This studio recording developed out of a 2011 Northern California tour Vuckovich helped arrange for Hamilton. Tour in Bulgaria and Serbia, early August, 2011; Filoli Gardens, Woodside, August 28, 2011; Horizons Restaurant, Sausalito, August 31, 2011; Douglas Beach House, Half Moon Bay, September 3, 2011.
