SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:22 Min.
Appearing fifth in order, it’s the title track off The Harry Connick, Jr. Trio’s 1990 instrumental album. With Connick, Jr. on piano, the trio consists of Benjamin Wolfe (bass) and Shannon Powell (drums). Connick, Jr. composed this tune.
In his liner notes, Connick, Jr. explains the source of the tune’s peculiar title being inspired by a behind-the-scenes experience during preparations for filming the 1990 wartime movie, Memphis Belle.
REVIEW:
Reminiscent of edgy 1950’s jazz (i.e. the Peter Gunn TV series), “Lofty’s Roach Souffle” has a timeless sound. Much like the previous track: “Mr. Spill,” this toe-tapping tune merits a shot at re-discovery by jazz enthusiasts.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
