"Fitzgerald is a Montgomery scholar and visionary…Fitzgerald doesn’t emulate Montgomery’s playing per se, but the two guitarists have much in common: fleet-fingered dexterity, an affinity for rhythmically advanced material, total command of the harmonic elements inherent in straight-ahead jazz, impeccable touch on the fretboard, mastery of all things syncopated and a grounded reverence for the blues."
“Chicago has spawned legendary talent like Nat King Cole, Herbie Hancock, Bud Freeman, Benny Goodman, Gene Ammons, Ramsey Lewis and a host of guitar greats and blues icons like Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamsons, Muddy Waters and Junior Wells. Now, Tim Fitzgerald joins the brigade.”
“Few can take on this feat and make it feel like anything close to Montgomery’s joyous swinging style. Tim Fitzgerald’s Full House does achieve this, and that’s the short of it!”
