Jerry Stucker: It's All A Groove (2008)


Long time sideman and session player/producer Jerry Stucker has worked with some of the Funkiest people on the planet. It's All A Groove (Urbanzone Records CD 1022) is his first solo album and is scheduled for a summer 2007 release. "At a time when so many players claim to be funky, Jerry Stucker is not only FUNKY, but he's a one-man encyclopedia of slinky, skanky, rock steady, and greasy rhythms. He knows a gazillion funky guitar inversions, his guitar tone is sparkling, and his parts always stab and dance all over the rhythm, finding ways to propel, accent, and add excitement to a song's groove. If you really want your tunes to dance, this is the cat you need playing guitar for you." -- Michael Molenda, Editor in Chief, GUITAR PLAYER magazine/www.myspace.com/jerrystucker
