Review by Jackie Brown

The Red Beans & Rice Combo's album, Let The Joy Begin, is a delightful collection of upbeat tracks that are sure to get listeners up and dancing. The album's lively rhythms and infectious melodies are a testament to the band's skill and passion for their craft.

From the opening track, "Let The Joy Begin," to the closing number, "Don't Stop the Dance," the album is a non-stop party. The band's signature blend of blues, jazz, and swing creates a sound that is both nostalgic and modern, and their tight instrumentation and harmonies are a joy to listen to.

The album's standout tracks include "Jumpin' Jack Flash," a swinging rendition of the classic Rolling Stones hit, and "Shake It Up," a funky tune with a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along. The band's cover of "Got My Mojo Working" is also a standout, with its infectious groove and soulful vocals.

Notes

  • Pittsburgh’s rockin' rhythm & jazz trio, The Red Beans & Rice Combo, will serve up a delightful musical gumbo with their debut recording, Let the Joy Begin! The Combo features Tom Roberts on piano, whistling, & vocals, along with Dave Klug on drums and his custom-built "Kluger Soundboard," and Wayno on vocals, harmonica, & ukulele. The fun-loving, sharp-dressed trio has been gigging around Pittsburgh since 2016, and quickly developed a reputation for delivering a danceable mix of New Orleans R&B, early rock & roll nuggets, and barroom ballads, with a jazzy dash of Tin Pan Alley, and a generous side of wit & humor. Let the Joy Begin! features ten of the Combo's favorite tunes. The album was produced by Xayne Berlinski at Mojo Bone Yard Studios in McKeesport, PA.
  • Man alive! These guys make you wanna jump and jive! Pittsburgh rhythm & blues and jazz at its coolest!

  • "Wayno met pianist Tom Roberts in 2016, when the latter was presenting a documentary at the Hollywood Theater on the colorful New Orleans pianist James Booker. Roberts grew up in Pittsburgh but throughout a wide-ranging musical career, he lived in New Orleans for several years and toured with the legendary Leon Redbone. With an encyclopedic knowledge of early jazz and rhythm and blues, as well as a massive collection of 78s, Roberts hit it off with the cartoonist. Wayno had played in the band the Chalk Outlines a few years prior to their encounter, and he was casting around for something to do. Despite having ongoing projects like a tango duo and providing music for silent movies, Roberts was interested. Dave Klug, drummer of numerous local bands including the Chalk Outlines, became the third piece in the puzzle.
  • All 10 songs on the Red Beans & Rice Combo’s debut CD, Let the Joy Begin, could be considered classics, though some might be more widely known than others. “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” feature as funky second line beat, topped off by some strong whistling by Roberts. “One Meat Ball” — the minor tale of a fellow who can only afford a meal consisting of that one item — has as much of a connection to Tin Pan Alley, but the trio still keeps it steeped in blues. Among the deeper cuts, one of the more engaging is “Who Drank My Beer,” a question first posed by Dave Bartholomew, a Big Easy native who also played with Fats Domino." - Mike Shanley, Pittsburgh Current, September 25, 2018
