Robert Walter - Cure All

Cure All celebrates the history of jazz and its quality as a danceable music. The blurred line between jazz and funk are highlighted in the 13 selections on this CD. Robert combines elements of older jazz (Fats Waller, Monk, and Blues) with the rock influences of his youth to create a funky selection straight out of New Orleans. Robert wrote this collection of originals with drummer Johnny Vidacovich and bassist James Singleton in mind. Johnny is an elder statesman in New Orleans. He taught many of the local drummers and has been a fixture of the music scene there all his life. James Singleton has an intimate and extensive affiliation with the New Orleans music scene and a member of Astral Project, a fixture there since 1978.
