  • Eliza Neals Release, 'Breaking and Entering,' on E-H Records [REVIEW]

    A Jersey girl by way of Detroit, blues-rock belter Eliza Neals is all over the map with 'Breaking and Entering' (E-H Records). It comes on the heels of her 'Messin’ With A Fool', so you'd think she’d have learned her lessons by now. Not this gal! She's rough 'n' tough. I know I wouldn't mess with her. Buoyed by stinging guitarist Howard Glazer and produced by Mike Puwal (a real pro), this lesson in bombast also has a nifty little guest shot by Kid Rock guitarist Kenny Olsen.

This release, 'Dr. Ed Calle Presents Mamblue,' a stunning two-CD tribute to the city of Miami, Florida and its cultural history (Mojito Records) is a tour-de-force of big-band swing, Afro-Cuban action, mambo, bolero and cha-cha. Dr. Ed Calle played sax, wrote all 25 tracks, arranged, orchestrated and produced. To that end, he rounded up some master musicians to positively wail.
