“The Larry Newcomb Quartet’s Love, Dad album opens with a swinging “You Stepped Out of a Dream,” journeys pleasantly through six of Newcomb’s engaging originals, presents a fresh take on “Secret Agent Man,” and closes with an up-tempo melodic romp through Jerome Kern’s “The Song is You.”

A very solid jazz guitarist, Dr. Larry Newcomb has a fluid, vibrant style that conveys warmth and melodic integrity. He holds Masters and PhD degrees in music from the University of Florida. Guitarist Larry Newcomb emphasizes evocative single note linear phrasing much in the style of the great unsung hero of jazz guitar Grant Green, but he also demonstrates proficiency in many other guitar techniques. His improvisations are tasty, tight and inventive. Love, Dad is a sweet guitar-centric jazz album with tonal purity, imagination and taste.” ~ Joe Ross, Roots Music Report”
