New in Dylan Cover Albums: Jamie Saft Trio


Now officially added to Dylan Cover Albums is Trouble: The Jamie Saft Trio Plays Bob Dylan. The 8-track jazz CD includes 6 instrumentals and 2 guest vocals: Ballad of A Thin Man by Mike Patton (lead singer of Faith No More from 1988 to 1998, and also Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantômas and Peeping Tom) and Living The Blues by Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons.)
(Note: due to the 2 vocal tracks, I have listed the CD in the Vocals section)
Jamie Saft plays piano & Hammond organ, with Greg Cohen on contrabass and Ben Perowsky on drums.
My 2 favorite tracks are the 2 organ tracks - Dignity is reminiscent of Brother Jack McDuff or Booker T., while Disease of Conceit is in a different, hymn-like style, a fitting album closer.
Trouble has also been added to the Jazz Dylan Covers Collector's Guide.

More info is available at jamiesaft.com and Tzadik
