 | | Greebo is comprised of four young men--MacMillan, LaFranchi, fiddler John Wiederanders and Michael Ansolabehere on mandolin and vocals--playing a bunch of foot-stomping, hand-clapping tunes that inspire a whole heap of hootin', hollerin' and dancin' from the growing crowd of local Greebo fans. |
 | | Now, about LaFranchi's bass playing: In Greebo, as with the various jazz groups he plays with around town, his bass work is both fun and serious, complicated and carefree. |
 | | On this last Wiederanders-less go-round with Greebo, his spot was satisfyingly filled by guest flutist Shigemi Minetaka (nice work on "Stomping at Decca"!), guest fiddler Amber Rolf (excellent roots complement to Ansolabehere's voice), Chuck the guest mandolinist (solid player!) and Mike Wofchuck on djembe (cool!). |
