Review: Dr. Magkneetoe and the Triboro Trio in Newburgh, New York
The Triboro Trio is
made up of Lustgarten, Rick Mullen on bass and Gamma. They opened the
preview with a set of fusion music of rock, funk, R&B, jazz and pop.
Starting with an instrumental "Chameleon" by Herbie Hancock on a funky
bass line, they moved right into "Sonny," the 1966 hit by Bobby Hebb,
belted out vigorously by Gamma with voice, drums and percussion.
Lustgarten next sang "What's Going On?" by Marvin Gaye with a wonderful
jazz riff on the guitar. Gamma announced that he was "Feeling Alright,"
from David Mason's 1968 rock album.
