Take elements of George Winston, Herbie Hancock and Ramsey Lewis, shake them up with a dash of Joe Sample and you come close to describing the Augustine experience. His style is lively and interesting, and his skills polished and confident.<\/p>\n<p><i>Groove Attitude<\/i>, the first track describes the feel of this CD well&#8230; jazzy groove with a touch of attitude and Wes-Montgmery soul. Joe really shows of his chops on the cover of <i>Night Train<\/i>, handling the intricate runs with a natural rhythm. Same for the classic <i>Fever<\/i> and Diana Krall&#8217;s famous <i>Peel Me A Grape<\/i>, both presented with Augustine&#8217;s unique flair and styling,  as is <i>Love For Sale<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>  The title track is a smooth, swinging-yet-laid-back piece meant for lolling around on a summer afternoon.  Joe&#8217;s Calypso-style romp through the Sonny Rollins classic anthem <i>St.Thomas<\/i> is another enjoyable ride among the many found here. Hats off to Augustine and guitarist <i>Denny Jiosa<\/i> for an interesting and lively CD. Once you&#8217;ve heard Joe Augustine play, you&#8217;ll know his style when you hear it as surely as you do that of Satchmo or Ramsey Lewis.     <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"\/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>    <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool Today,Jazz Tonight Joe Augustine (1201 Music &#8211; 2001) by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
