Eric Krasno & Stanton Moore: Book Of Queens
 | Label: CONCORD Catalog: CJA00794 Format: CD Before forming the Lettuce and Galactic collectives, guitarist Eric Krasno and drummer Stanton Moore had shared the same passion for the multidirectional polyrhythms of funk, jazz, blues, soul and hip-hop since the mid-1990s. Book of Queens', their first joint album under the name Krasno / Moore Project, is a tribute to the current and eternal queens of pop music. Recorded in Woodstock, in the barn studio of the late Levon Helm (The Band) and with organist Eric Finland, 'Book of Queens' offers nine instrumental reinterpretations of the repertoire of Billie Eilish, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse. H.E.R., Sharon Jones, Peggy Lee, Kacey Musgraves, Nina Simone and Brittany Howard, including a cover version of 'Stay High' featuring the wonder keyboardist Cory Henry. A 100% groovy, organic and timeless tribute, like the spectacular update of Peggy Lee's standard 'Fever', illuminated by the presence of another celebrity guest: saxophonist Branford Marsalis.
