Ezra Lee & His Boogie Woogie Band
Live and Rockin'
(Self-issued)

"Channeling the spirit of legends like Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Ray Charles and Little Richard, Ezra's performances are a whirlwind of explosive energy, pounding rhythms, and fiery licks," was the admiring portrait offered by Australia's Stars and Bars festival website.
All of that is captured on this disc, which demands maximum volume. Drop the stylus and dive into the swinging shindig. Ezra proves himself a master of ceremonies in the carbonated, carefree manner of a rocker who's seen a million stages and besplintered each and every one.
Fittingly, his accompanists tear into the proceedings with free-of-leash relish, affording their leader a foundation from which he launches rollicking broadsides.
When Ezra prefaces "Rocket 88" with the appeal "Can we get all the women up here?," it's clear he knows what Rock'n'Roll is all about.
