Gary Preston and Anita Bonkowski
Satisfy Somebody
What a wild little duo. Live and on disc, Gary and Anita get down on some good ol' blues, some funky New Orleans grooves, a couple of vintage jazz gems, and some of Gary's originals. Enjoy.
What a wild little duo! Live and on disc, they move from the intimacy you expect of a duo to a surprisingly big sound. Veteran bluesman Gary is a triple threat on vocals, keyboard and harmonica, while Anita provides the grooving combination of bass and percussion. Here they get down on a variety of good ol' blues, some funky New Orleans grooves, a couple of vintage jazz gems and some of Gary's original compositions. Enjoy!
