The opening track, The Great One (dedicated to hockey great Wayne Gretzky) is a well-crafted piece of inspired creativity. And just like the superstar and his line-mates, combine pianist David Restivo, bassist Jim Vivian, drummer Kevin Dempsey and guitarist David Occhipinti and you have a formidable offense as well. The players amend and enlarge Occhipinti's melodies with subtle harmonic variety. An excellent debut. David Occhipinti: David Occhipinti (Unity). |
