A funky review for MIXTURE


Jordan Richardson from Something Else Reviews had a few comments about MIXTURE - and even mentioned Pam Rule's contribution!
Mixture, then, is the culmination of all of the above accomplishments. It is, like Stuckey’s impressive bio, diverse, colourful and a little busy at times.
This made me laugh. A LITTLE busy? Have they ever seen Joey work?
Some tracks employ other players, like Tom Rule (keyboards and drum programming) and Miguel Castro (percussion), to better effect. The call-and-response delight of “Too Pooped to Bop” draws a bigger picture, with Stuckey walking the line with some enjoyable fretwork. Rule’s input adds to the jam.
By the way, "Too Pooped to Bop" is a deliberate oxymoron. Now you know!
The fireworks of album-opener “We’ll See,” with Stuckey shooting off blast-like riffs and careening through a dominant solo, is similarly boosted by the grooves of Rule and Castro. Pam Rule’s vocals take things back in time.
So Joey is shooting and careening, Tom and Miguel are groovy, and Pam Rule is a time traveler. I never knew the album was this epic!

Included are some of the YouTube videos we posted during the album's creation process.

MIXTURE overseas...plus we're still heeeeeere!

Got a text from Joey that says MIXTURE is getting Radio Airplay in Australia. So, G'day, mates!

MIXTURE hit a high of #9 on the CMJ jazz chart - dropped back in the twenties, and has been rising again this week - it's a #18!

Cool stuff, I'm telling ya!

MIXTURE: GREAT Review over at All About Jazz!

Fresh on the heels of reaching into the Top Ten on the CMJ Jazz charts comes this highly complimentary review of Mixture over at All About Jazz by Edward Blanco. Here are a few quotes:
  • Mixture is a gem of smooth-styled jazz that sparkles all over.
  • Key to this endeavor is friend, keyboardist and songwriter Tom Rule with whom Stuckey has collaborated the past several years, writing the music for this album.
  • Whether familiar with the blind guitarist or not, Mixture is a delightful recording, delivering an all-around pleasurable musical experience from an amazingly talented artist who, despite his physical limitation, navigates his musical path like a driven visionary, letting nothing get in the way of his success.
  • Not everything here is soft and sweet however, as stuck in the middle of these selections is the swinging, bop-to-the-core "Too Pooped To Bop."
  • .....the album presents a versatile set of primarily warm tunes with a touch of bop and pep.
