Leave it to a guy born in England to keep the spirit of classic New Orleans R&B going. Jon Cleary knew early in life that his destiny was to move to Louisiana and play the music of the city he’d come to love, and that’s what the pianist and vocalist has been doing now for more than two decades. Dyna-Mite follows 2015’s GoGo Juice and, as on that one, the leader mostly leans toward a full, horn-accented sound to get his rhythms where he wants them. Blasts of trombone, tenor saxophone and trumpet provide Cleary with some extra muscle and color on half of Dyna-Mite , leading off with the sinuous grooves of the title track. (The Meters’ Leo Nocentelli adds guitar licks like only he can to the tune.) Even on those tracks that strip it down—“Big Greasy” is all Cleary (piano, Hammond B3, guitar, bass, drums and vocals) with Jamison Ross on drums, and “Best Ain’t Good Enuff” sends home everyone except Ross, a couple of sax players and a few background vocalists—there’s never a lack of wattage. Cleary knows the history of this music, and its natural vibe, inside and out: He can call in the whole crew and tone it down for a soulful ballad like “21st Century Gypsy Singing Lover Man” and just like that it’s 100-percent pure NOLA.
