WDCB CD Review:
Soth and Caruso
'Songs from the Kingdom of Jazz'

by WDCB Music Director Paul Abella

’Songs from the Kingdom of Jazz’ is a stellar disc from a couple of Chicago jazz veterans, Jim Massoth (woodwinds) and Frank Caruso (piano). While they have played together for years, it is their first release together as co-leaders. Joining them are many equally-adept Chicago heavies, including Jonathan Paul (bass), Bob Rummage (drums), Tom Hipskind (drums), Ron Ruvio (trumpet), and Chris Siebold (guitar).
