Customer Reviews

Worth the investment!

Not just speaking monetarily here, but also as a listener. The first several cuts are classic Vannelli rock grooves with jazz-influenced chord structures. Once "Black and "Blue" hits we're introduced to the symphony and the richness of the recording expands even more. You'll need a few listens to grab hold of the "Pauper in Paradise" Suite in its entirety, but it's worth the time. Especially when the 3rd movement takes over. His fusion band is back and the virtuosic fireworks begin, but it never gets so far out that you lose them. That's what I love so much about Gino's music-he knows right when to reel you back in with a contagious melody or a killer groove that hits you right between the eyes. Personal Favorite-"Mardi Gras"

Vanelli's Finest Musically

Brief and to the point, this album really shows the Vanelli Brothers at their best. The jazzy hits to get the groove going then the transition into The Pauper in Paradise which while certainly not a popular tune is some of the finest music of it's time. Rock On Paisanos !
