Eastside Radio’s Album of The Week is Jon Cleary’ ‘Dyna-Mite’, releasesd via FHQ Records.

Jon Cleary is an English pianist, guitarist and vocalist, based in New Orleans. Cleary’s thirty-five years of intensive hands-on work on the Crescent City scene has made him a respected peer of such New Orleans R&B icons as Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. In 2013 he released his album Dyna-Mite featuring both, elements of traditional New Orleans Jazz and Cleary’s original twist. His fingerprints are omnipresent throughout with his hip-shaking piano that blends together a diversity of moods and textures. Cleary wrote every song on the album and co-wrote 21st Century Gypsy Singing Lover Man with Taj Mahal, all of which display the mastery of his craft regardless of what instrument he’s playing.
