Cleary's vocal-songwriting flair for moody Seventies soul and the spunky-Meters roll of his Gentlemen." - David Fricke, Rolling Stone
Jon Cleary and The Absolute Monster Gentlemen will be performing in support of their new live release, Mo Hippa, Thursday, October 9th at Sweetwater Station in Larkspur and Saturday, October 11th at The Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. In the hallowed ranks of New Orleans "piano professors," Jon Cleary is on the tenure track. With his new self-release MO HIPPA (FHQ Records), Cleary finally captures the sizzling energy of his live shows on wax. "The fact is, that the magic that happens in a live performance, is unique and will only happen once," Cleary says.
The Absolute Monster Gentlemen feature Cleary on keys; New Orleans natives Derwin "Big D" Perkins on guitar and Cornell C. Williams on bass, both ten-year vets of the band; and new face Eddie Christmas on drums. While Cornell's deep grooves and Eddie's hard, funky beat anchor the grooves, Big D and Jon soar, with R&B licks that take the best from island rhythms, jazz, funk and traditional New Orleans soul.
Cleary, born in England, is an adopted son of the Crescent City, a quick study having recorded five soul-soaked R&B funk albums on his own. As a session man, he's played with Taj Mahal, B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt, to name a few, and is a longstanding member of Raitt's touring band. Cleary just recorded with John Scofield and will be touring with the legendary guitarist starting in November. Cleary will also be embarking on a special solo piano tour called "The Keys to New Orleans," featuring Allen Toussaint and Henry Butler.
Recorded at the Vanguard club in Sydney, Australia, MO HIPPA shows Cleary and his ace band stamping their signature, groove-laden style on New Orleans classics like Professor Longhair's iconic "Tipitina" and the Meters' funk masterpiece "People Say." Originals like "C'mon Second Line," and "Port Street Blues" slides from street-parade swagger into soulful blues. The smoking original track "When U Get Back" is a singular example of Cleary's eclectic style: killer R&B infused with Caribbean funk, and a catchy pop sensibility that infects the dance floor.
