Though he’s a seasoned keyboardist skilled in an ample array of genres from rock, jazz and jam to fusion, funk and classical, Dr. Dan Matrazzo isn’t exactly a household name. That’s because, thus far, he’s largely existed in the shadows of his famous collaborators, supporting the Allman Brothers, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Widespread Panic, Gov’t Mule, Taj Mahal, Blues Traveler, Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit. His own recordings have been relatively rare, too, making this new entry a welcome occasion to hear him on his own. Paired with The Looters, Matrazzo is given ample opportunity to stretch out through extended instrumentals and a free-flowing musical mix that reflects his improvisational chops well. (The eponymous album is billed as something of a conceptual sequel to his work on the new Sco-Mule archival release.) While none of the songs are especially noteworthy, other than for the fact that they offer a showcase for the band’s dexterity, they do allow Matrazzo and his mates to flex their muscles, while putting the focus on funk and fusion. Song titles like “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy” and “Spidey on Crack” indicate the mindset, but a sizzling variation on “Minor Third from the Sun” shows that there is ample skill in much of what the good doctor is prescribing.
