It’s doubtful that the dynamic multi-generational duo of Nathan and Noah East could have anticipated it when they recorded their funky and bluesy, wildly improvisational hipster swing through Benny Golson’s 1960 classic “Killer Joe.” But in the wake of the legendary bebop saxophonist’s passing in September, the third single from Nathan and Noah’s upcoming FATHER SON album grooves and inspires as a brilliant contemporary tribute. Their original intention – an homage to both Quincy Jones who made the song famous and President Joe Biden – still stands as well! Driven by Noah’s powerhouse organ, Greg Phillinganes’ super-melodic piano solos and Nathan’s breezy rhythms and dreamy vocal repetition of the title, the track also features a soulful elevating flute solo by the great Hubert Laws, who played on the original Q version!
