CD ReviewsBrilliant in every way. 08/07/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Brilliant modern Boogie Woogie. Excellent piano work. Stimulates some of the not-to-often-stimulated parts of the brain. Excellent interpretations of Choo Cho Ch'Boogie and Jambalaya. And the opening track, Boogie Woogie Valentine - you guessed it - excellent." Exellent jump blues, r & b, r & r, jivers, and boppers... java-the-hut | LA | 04/09/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is the most essential out of all of Rob Rio's highly enjoyable and recomended cd's. Rio is an exellent boogie woogie swing and jump blues style pianist, who also posseses a smooth and 1950's sounding voice. The music crosses many generes, and although it generally swings hard, it is a mixture of 1950's walin' r&b, rock'n'roll, boogie woogie and jivin' bop. Rio sounds as equally influenced by Albert Ammons as he does by Jerry Lee Lewis or Fats Domino. This music is timeless fun, and creative. There is a honking wailin' sax present on this cd, as well as a tight rhythm section, thsi band really jumps and is very popular among swign dancers across Southern California and Los Angeles. So those who like modern swing bands like Royal Crown Review or Indigo Swing will equally enjoy Rio & his Revolvers, whose high musicianship and fun songs make this cd a jitterbug or Lindy Hop party favorite."
