When this savoury very special New Orleans dish becomes music, it still keeps the same appeticing attraction Red Beans And Rice are an splendid Monterey, CA settled band, with Bishop Manfield on main vocals, Tamas Marius on tenor and alto sax, Gil Rubio on guitar, congas, organ and vocals, Tom Lawson on keyboards, accordions and vocals, Joe Vallaire on bass and Jamey de Maria on drums and percussion This is the best cd they have done till now, because it shows them as a convincing skilful band, with a smooth mature sound Gifted with an impressive swing in every song included on the cd, their musical arrangements are on a par with the best bands of that musical style An hour of pure New Orleans rhythm and blues, spiced with the most original West Coast blues and jump A good cd that deserves consideration and respect
