Pianist Larry Vuckovich's new CD HIGH WALL: REAL LIFE FILM NOIR follows his
acclaimed STREET SCENE film noir tribute that hit #1 on XM Satellite Radio and
the top 10 of JazzWeek charts.  It features the first jazz recording of a
Bronislaw Kaper gem from the film noir High Wall, which inspired the CD title. 
Other tracks include four originals, a Barry Harris piece
''Lolita,'' Crusaders' funk and Rodrigo classical, plus two
live concert tracks.  Bassist Larry Grenadier returns from the STREET SCENE
sessions for this CD as do percussionists Hector Lugo and Vince Delgado. 
Joining them are bassist Paul Keller and drummers Eddie Marshall and Chuck
McPherson.  

Scott Yanow, All Music Guide, has given HIGH WALL 4 1/2 stars.  Chris Spector,
Midwest Record, says:  ''... this is a classy jazz piano date ...
Elegant and earthy with a surprising amount of funk ... this is the kind of set
you'll be mad at yourself for missing ... A real winning date. '' 
Reese Erlich, NPR's Jazz Perspectives, says High Wall ''soars to
new heights.''  Look for a review in the 88s column of the September
Jazz Times.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

>From my perspective his latest..."Vibe Over Perfection"... is one
of the best vocal releases I've received in a while. Swings beautifully. We
get a ton of singers and most are mediocre. It's not just his singing that
is outstanding but the band and the arrangements are top notch as well. Usually
for me...standard II V flare doesn't work because of it's level of
predictability but when it's done this well you have to play it.
