Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Bonnie Raitt fans have long been familiar with Jon Cleary's funky keyboard work and have often been privileged to see the man open her shows with his band, the Absolute Monster Gentlemen--one of the greasiest aggregations on the planet. Cleary's previous outing attempted to capture this live magic in the studio, but managed to merely hint at it. For this recording the British ex-pat wisely adds a little modern studio gloss to tunes like "Agent 00 Funk" and "Oh No No No." This way, instead of inevitably paling beside the group's intense live shows, Pin Your Spin offers something new: an equally down and dirty recorded experience that borrows from today's hip-hop studio techniques without sacrificing any of the group interaction that makes this band so special. Having lived in New Orleans for two decades, Cleary is steeped in that city's second-line tradition, but he is equally influenced by the moody groves of '70s Miami soul. "Caught Red Handed" brings these roots to the fore. Elsewhere Cleary demonstrates the well-rounded musical chops, soulful singing, and terrific songwriting that caused Raitt to deem him "The Ninth Wonder of the World." --Michael Ross

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic New Orleans Funk, June 4, 2004
What fun! I saw the Absolute Monster Gentlemen at the Santa Cruz Blues Festival and bought this CD on the spot. It captures what I heard and liked in the live performance perfectly, and adds a little more. New Orleans Funk is a good description, but I love how the latin piano sneaks in from time to time. "Agent OO Funk" is a rollicking funk number. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, April 28, 2004
By A Customer
There isn't a finer live act around than Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen, and, on Pin Your Skin, the full magic has been caught on record. I can't imagine that 2004 will provide a funkier, deeper, and more utterly satisfying album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funk Helluva, October 27, 2008
If you like the funk you should definetely buy this Cd. Jon Cleary an accomplished sideman for the greats like:Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Johnny Adams and even very recently John Scofield is a tremendous leader. His unique combination of New orleans funk and latinos influences are mixing well like a juicy Gumbo.

His band: the Monster Gentlemen are pushing up the groove like no one else (except maybe the Meters). Most of the songs on this CD are Jon's original tunes and I bet you you will not be able to stand seated while you listen to "Funky Munky Biznis" or "Aint Nuttin Nice". Some song like the great Doo Wop number "Best Aint Good Enuff" show up how good the voice of Jon can blend in such great song.

Although Cleary relocated to New Orleans from Great Britan, his music and vocals are steeped in the traditions of the Big Easy. Read more
