| Bob DeVos: New CD Shadow Box In Top Ten On Airplay Charts-3 Weeks Bob's recently released CD Shadow Box has catapulted to No. 6 on JAZZWEEK's TOP AIRPLAYS CHART and is the WBGO CD Selection of the Month. Hear why, when Bob and his fellow musicians play CD selections and his signature mix of standards, jazz standards, blues and DeVos' hyper hip originals at Smalls Oct 18 & at the Jazz Loft @SOPAC on Nov 17. DeVos propels his Hammond B-3 experience deep into 21st century jazz without losing the soul of the masters he came up with: Richard "Groove" Holmes-Sonny Stitt, Jimmy McGriff-Hank Crawford & Charles Earland. Shadow Box spins dazzling variations on the blues: a New Orleans second line groove on Percy Mayfield's The River's Invitation, a Latin take on Wes Montgomery's Twisted Blues, along with Bob's blues-in-disguise originals- Shadow Box, Blue Print and After Burner, Bob's swinging tribute to "The Mighty Burner." For calendar updates, more CD information, links, reviews, music samples etc, see www.bobdevosjazzguitar.com Reviews for Bob DeVos/Shadow Box DeVos is a killer jazz guitarist with so much soul that he isn't afraid to lead an organ trio and give the B3 plenty of room. Swinging, bopping and hard charging throughout, DeVos shows up ready to play and blow you away. A sumptuously killer of a date where the cooking is always with the gas on high. A winner throughout.—Chris Spector A cooker all the way—Marc Myers The guitar-driven organ combo is in full effect and Bob DeVos and his fine ensemble are burning that torch brightly….Swings with strong passion and verve and spotlights smooth harmonic and unison interplay-- Eric Harabadian Bob DeVos is at his prime and that prime delivers some of the richest moments in jazz right about now… This is an amazingly big band sound from a small group of musicians.
