After thirty-five years of being at the forefront of the ever-evolving musical landscape of NewOrleans, Grammy Award winner Jon Cleary decided to bring that sound back home, both figuratively and literally. He assembled his Absolute Monster Gentlemen (his acclaimed all-starbig band) in his home studio in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, drew up a setlist ofsome of his most beloved songs–and some new favorites–and rolled tape.“We set out to capture that sound in the old-fashioned way: everybody in the room, playing together,” Cleary explains.
The result isThe Bywater Sessions, a musical tour-de-force that showcases the grit, funk andjoy that’s packed concert halls from New Orleans to Tokyo and beyond. Co-produced by ClearyandJohn Porter(Roxy Music, The Smiths, Taj Mahal), it’s a stunning collection of performances that affirms Cleary’s place in the New Orleans musical vanguard.
“There’s a lot to be said for the ‘lean and mean’ sound of a piano trio, stripped down to basics,simple and direct,” Cleary says. “But recently, I’ve been experimenting with different combinations; adding horns, guitar, percussion and even another keyboard player. Thisexpanded line-up has allowed the arrangements to blossom in new directions.”
