"Jon
Cleary is the ninth wonder in the world." "Cleary can be an absolute monster on his own, but Cleary’s
full combo R&B is as broad, deep and roiling as the Mississippi
river, the combined swinging product of local keyboard tradition,
Cleary’s vocal-songwriting flair for moody Seventies soul
and the spunky-Meters roll of his Gentlemen." “I haven’t heard anybody close to having absorbed
so much funk and so many subtleties of the different genius piano
players and guitar players and rhythms of New Orleans.” Cleary plays piano as if he's revving up an engine and sings as
if a line drawing of his behatted self were next to "soul" in
Webster's. |
