Product Description
An exciting album that captures the California cool jazz sounds, West Coast Swing delivers originals and standards that range from the up-tempo cooker, 'Catch Me' (the opener of the album) to lustrous ballads like 'Cecil’s Dream.' Needless to say, there are none-too subtle shadings of blues licks layered throughout Goins’s hot guitar licks found on this CD—no doubt a direct attribute of his Chi-Town roots. The album features his impressive artistry in a variety of formats, including a tasty solo arrangement of 'I Could Write Book,' guitar duo on 'Slim Goody,' traditional piano trio (ala Oscar Peterson) on 'Catch Me,' and a blistering quartet on 'Claire’s Lair.' Goins has a unique style that reflects brightly from his musical influences by the likes of Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and Kenny Burrell.
