Remember those great instrumental hits of the 60s and 70s by Qunicy Jones, Herb Alpert, Henry Mancini and the like? The ones that served as the gateway drug for rock n roll kids to discover something cool and hip? The ones for the jazz heads to get off their high horses and put on some dancing shoes? The ones that were used in all those movies and TV shows?
Well now we have our modern day version. Evening Sky has teamed up with special guest Ralph Rosen on harmonica to deliver a fun, groovy, swinging little number called “Lamont’s Revenge” that will tickle your ears and make you tap your toes. It’s the lead single from their upcoming album Evening Sky +1: Ralph Rosen, the 5th release in the bands ever expanding series of Plus One releases, available at
