O’s Notes: Kevin Coelho is only sixteen years old yet he is rocking his B3 with elements of funk like there’s no tomorrow! Drummer Reggie Jackson and guitarist Derek Dicenzo join him to play a cool mix of freshly arranged classics and a couple of originals. If that team sounds familiar, it is because they also play with B3-master Tony Monaco, Coelho’s teacher/mentor! “Cantaloupe Island”, “McJimmy” and “Play It Back” are a few of the best but Kevin has a long runway and we’ll be on board!
