(Posi-tone)

Hammond-B3 player Brian Charette is back with another great effort. Good Tipper is a solid work from start to finish, with Charette and company creating a vibe that makes listening an absolute necessity. Charette’s playing is warm and funky and that’s the feel of the production here. The recording is a nice balance of fresh originals and clever selections of cover tunes. The band of supporting players really helps keep the music hopping, with Avi Rothbard and Yotam Silberstein on guitars, Jordan Young and Mark Ferber on drums, and Joe Sucato on saxophone for one tune. This is definitely a must-hear effort .
