Like That

Jeff Richman’s 15th solo release delivers ten hard-hitting, playful compositions with catchy melodies and a refreshingly modern sound. Richman continues to shine in his ability to write music with creative intricacy and sophistication, articulating his individual point of view. This time around, his guitar tone is deeper, more resonant, robust and alive. Richman’s style of playing complex changes fluidly over these infectious grooves will satisfy over many listenings. Like a musical alchemist, Richman’s purposeful selection of accompanying musicians creates a unique magic and delivers pleasing surprises along the way. A Vinnie Colaiuta solo highlights the expansive, wild adventure on “In Spirited” and Will Kennedy puts his signature on title track “Like That” with a funky backbeat. Larry Golding’s solo on “Tsuyako” adds to its romantic flair, Mitchel Forman lays an all-out solo on “Rock Tall”, and Deron Johnson’s hypnotic acoustic piano on “Endless Inbetween” gives it depth and dimension. Alex Acuna’s vibrant percussion adds just the right amount of muscial spice.
