 Washington, DC-based
drummer Tony Martucci has released his third recording, "Long Street
Charm", which harkens back to his days playing with Hammond organ masters.
As Tony himself said, “For the better part of the 1970s, most of my
employment was found on the ‘chitlin circuit’ in bands led by
organists Bobby Pirece, Don Patterson, Hank Marr, and saxophonist Rusty Bryant.
These dark, smoke-filled nightclubs became my university, and these brilliant
musicians my professors. All of these bands were based in Columbus, Ohio Many
of these clubs were on Long Street, which stretched from the east side all the
way to the city limit and beyond.

One Steve Herberman and his trio stretch out over a set of
favorite modern jazz classics and originals ranging in styles, meters and
moods. The unique arrangements and extended improvisation coupled with subtle
group interplay holds the listeners attention. At the root of Steve's playing
is a love of contrapuntal textures, a harmonic approach to improvising and
rhythmic diversity. "Ideals" consists of four new original compositions
and seven standards with a few surprises.
