Porcupine Slider Inside

Great tune from a band that called themselves Porcupine. This tune "Slider Inside' received a good deal of airplay in the early days of WQCD CD 101.9. Bill Cunliffe and Bernie Dresel, both award-winning musicians, formed a smooth jazz-oriented ensemble in the early '90s called Porcupine. But don't let their name keep you from getting too close because this is the kind of music that actually has the ability to turn smooth jazz skeptics into believers that you can have both great melodies and true jazz playing. This winning debut has music that's clearly defined, and the arrangements allow for each participating musician -- including saxman Gerald Albright, guitarists Ron Komie and Thom Rotella, and bassist Dave Carpenter -- to have solo time. The result is a balanced collaboration drawing upon Cunliffe's melodic strengths and Dresel's soulful sense of groove.

I remember first hearing this in high school! I said it was an instant jazz classic from the opening bars. Still is!

[@drumdad54sdl47]

Good call.

[@bobbell1953]

Loved it when it came out, love it to this day! My old gal pal and I use to argue back in the day who was a better band..The Rippington's or Porcupine..but "Porcupine has Bill Cunliffe and Bernie" I always said.
