CD review: EOhippus -- Get On [LP]

Get On, the second CD from EOhippus, presents 11 original instrumental compositions that showcase complex rhythms in a cool, straight-forward style, one that is both unpretentious and fresh and up. Fusion lovers are going to dig this CD, especially those partial to up-beat, up-tempo instrumental work. Those not so enamored with jazz-related genres will find the album to sound like especially inspired elevator music, but even they may not want to get off the elevator at their stop once they realize these guys -- Bill Kerr (guitar), Jim Robischon (keyboard), Bruce Crisman (percussion), and George Brangoccio (bass) – are veteran professionals who deliver the goods, unifying influences such as Caribbean and Latin Jazz, Swing Jazz, R&B and Funk. Check out EOhippus live at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 31, at Woody's Wood Fired Tavern, 7095 E. Evans Ave., Denver. Telephone: (303) 757-4200.
