Product Description
Pass The Hat is The Faker Five's first CD release. It features original tunes as well as compositions by Antonio Carlos Jobim, John Coltrane, Errol Garner, Oliver Nelson and Harold Arlen. The Faker Five swings intensely on songs like Impressions and Misty and then plays ballads like Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Stolen Moments with sensitivity, soul and a high level of musicianship. Tom Baker on Sax has his own full sound. John Cain on Guitar and Greg Detroy on keyboards solo beautifully while Kevin Hilll on Bass and Steve Townsend on Drums hold the grooves hard and steady. This is an excellent first effort from a group of musicians who have played together for 25 years.
