THE RAZ BANDMadison Park
Gonzo Multimedia Group – Imp.
For the first time in years an album makes me
feel so impressed that I need listen to the songs several times in sequence, and
I do not get tired of doing it. Madison Park brings 16 tracks of pure rock n
'roll, where Michael "Raz" Rescigno puts all of his talent as a composer and
shows his influences, which are originated in what is the most sacred in the
world of music: the "Liverpool Sound" of Beatles and Badfinger, and the
classically American Rock of Creedence Clearwater and Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young, just to name his inspirations, because the songs themselves carry the
strong personality of the band.
On this record The Raz has Michael
Raz himself (guitar, vocals), Jeff Hutchinson"Hutch"
(drums, vocals), Jim Manzo (bass,
vocals), and the now official members of the band, Joey Molland (Badfinger) on
guitars and vocals along with Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh /
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young / Eagles) playing keyboards. Is that good
enough, or you want more? It also has special guests of the caliber of Gary
Duncan and a long list of brilliant musicians. Madison Park is an album made in
honor of the city located in the state of New Jersey (USA), where Michael and
his musical partner Hutch grew up and lived through adolescence, before they
moved to Los Angeles.
It took long years of waiting for a brand new disc, since
2003, when Raz released It's All About Me, but as a reward the new álbum
surpassed expectations. Madison Park is for me the best album of the year 2015.
