 Troiano Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The "Troiano" band was an impressively tight unit without a single weak link: Drummer Paul Delong; Bassist Bob Wilson; Dave Tyson on keyboards, former Mandala/Bush alumnus Roy Kenner on lead vocals, and of course Domenic on all the guitars.
Listening to the changes and the inventive harmonic and rhythmic architecture explored by Domenic, one soon appreciates why he was such a sought-after musician by the likes of Steely Dan, James Gang, Guess Who, etc. "Brains On the Floor" for example would have been a perfect fit on "Pretzel Logic".
These three songs represent Domenic Troiano at the top of his game; his guitar playing is never better and the band is his perfect foil.

It was Richardson who would introduce Troiano to Burton Cummings, leading to his joining The Guess Who for 2 records in the mid 70's.

This album is distinctive, though, as it shows Troiano in an interesting light and identifies his versatility.

 Jazz Concert Review - Domenic Troiano with Doug Riley on Hammond B-3@ jazzreview.com
Guitarist Domenic Troiano (hailed as one of the very best to come out of the Toronto Sound music explosion of the mid-‘60s in Canada), along with the other awesome players this night, created true, modern-day musical masterpieces, in two mind-boggling 90 minute sets that evening.
Troiano and the others performed some of the most amazing jazz, blues and RandB you could ever hope to hear in one concert at one time.
Doug’s accompaniment on B-3 was the quintessential complement to Troiano’s guitar ingenuity, as were his out-of-this-world B-3 solos and intricate harmonic keyboard rhythms.

 Burnin' at the Stake - Domenic Troiano - Music Reviews
The third edition of Domenic Troiano on his own, Burnin' at the Stake, is more jazz and funk mixed in with the rock than his self-titled first solo effort from 1972, and features Randy Brecker and Richard Landis at the helm producing.
This act is actually called the Domenic Troiano Band, which now consists of bassist Neil Jason, Fred Mandel, and Dave Tyson on keyboards and synths, with Steve Ferrone playing the drums.
Troiano communicates well vocally and instrumentally on nine of his own compositions, with a style completely different from his work with the James Gang and the Guess Who.

 Domenic Troiano and the Guess Who
Although it is hard to imagine two guitarists with a greater contrast of style, Domenic has a great respect for Randy's musicianship and has spoken highly of Randy on a number of occasions.
In that context, the decision to bring in Troiano with his jazz/blues rock style was a reasonable choice.
Bill Wallace recently reflected that although Domenic is a great musician, the music they produced was "not Guess Who." Garry Peterson speaks glowingly of Domenic and the music they did and laments that Burton didn't give the experiment a greater chance to succeed.
