"FutureWorld" on 97X late night hosted by Shiv. Legal tripping! 2. Mr. Rhythm Man, Saturday evening on WNKU. He oughta be in the Hall of Fame. 3. Paavo Jarvi and the CSO. The best band in town is really rockin' now, led by one bad-ass Estonian. It amazes me that every concert isn't a sell-out. 4. Steve Earle at Tall Stacks. Aggression + humility. 5. The White Stripes and Whirlwind Heat at Bogart's. The similarity to experiencing The MC5 and The Stooges at the Grande Ballroom (Detroit) in 1971 was beautiful, but I might have been the only one there lucky enough to know it first hand. I took my 12-year-old son, Sam, and he just asked me for the first Stooges album for Christmas. 6. John Hammond at Tall Stacks. Anthropology. 7. Los Lobos at Tall Stacks. Religion. 8. Karin Bergquist performing "Ohio" at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards ceremony (pictured). A master musician who made the horrid Old St. George acoustics work to her advantage. 9. The European record producers for American Idol using Sound Images (where I work) to record, Autotune and edit Ruben Studdard. A freak learning experience. And they kindly left their software installed on my computer! 10. Blackberry Belle by the Twilight Singers. Speaking of Autotuners .. excellent everything.

Nye likes to record in as few takes as possible, and Quick was done with little overdubbing or other fixes (just like Fun!). But if you've seen Nye's trio perform live, you know that the local prince of Boogie-Woogie-styled piano probably doesn't require many "do-overs." There are certainly no holes in Quick 'N' Dirty. The energy and spontaneity exhibited makes listeners feel like they are dancing the night away in some sweaty bayou speakeasy. That intimacy translates superbly as Nye and Mudbugs Tony Franklin (drums) and Nick Lloyd (upright bass) rip effortlessly through a plethora of Blues stylings on songs written by a variety of composers (save "Oh Yes," the sole Nye original). From the down-low Blues of Muddy Waters' "What Is That She Got?" and the more up-tempo R&B of "Grits Ain't Groceries" (made famous by Little Milton) to the yearning, soulful balladry of "Please Send Me Someone To Love" and Nye's trademark barrelhouse rolls on "Downtown Boogie" and "Dixie Lullaby," you can take Quick 'N' Dirty as a musical history lesson or, more appropriately, as a joyous escapade through the repertoire of one of Cincinnati's most talented musicians. Nye obviously has the deepest respect for the New Orleans-spawned art form, but he doesn't treat the material too preciously, raucously banging out the tunes with skill and grace, but also with a genuine sense of glee, something that permeates from nearly every note. Between quality releases like Quick 'N' Dirty, Nye's organization of regular Blues and Boogie piano summits, featuring like-minded artists from around the world, and steady European touring, his place as one of the preeminent masters of the style is secure.
