O’s Notes: Tony is an entertainer, a vocalist in front of good band. All of the music and arrangements except for the title track are Messina originals. The groove is upbeat and the stories are things in Tony’s world from his dedication to “Ol’ Blue Eyes” to his “Mile High Club” story. Our favorites were “Jazz’d” with Ed DeMateo’s walking bass and shadowing sax from Paul Chafin, and the swinging “Wonders of The World”.
