"Even though Jerry Granelli is at home in the jazz section of record stores, the UFB (two guitars and one bass) provides a competent framework for blending the sophistication of jazz with the energy and rawness of rock n'roll. From the reworkings of songs by Bruce Hornsby, Thelonius Monk, and Ry Cooder, to brilliant originals like "The Swamp," Jerry Granelli delivers a sophisticated groove that retains a definite grooviness. This CD, along with every other CD that Jerry Granelli has put together, is played with a reverence for the power of swing without allowing it to limit his range of expression."
