Black Chair
Chris Pati and Blufire

Chris and the boys have released a 2nd disk that's as refreshing as a cold front on a hot, humid summer day. Chris' fiery axe backs his work with blues lines, jazz riffs and rock grooves. The band is a rock of rhythm, holding the whole world together. As usual, the Blufire band exercises on many different levels. From the funky "Devil In Me" to the slow atmospheric title tune, "Black Chair", slow burning "This Ol' World" and, of course, blues rockers like "Talking In My Ear', Chris' creative writing is highlighted and burnished. These are mature and well crafted songs. As LI's scene grows more sophisticated, Chris will be leading the way with tight, well crafted charts, well produced CDs and thrilling live performances. What else can be said? See them at Cedar Beach on 9/20. (CBBF will be at the elementary school on 25A in Rocky Pt.] -M.G.
