Jon Cleary "Embodies The Heart And Soul" of NOLA On 'Dyna-Mite'

New Orleans pianist Jon Cleary's new LP 'Dyna-Mite' is out today on FHQ/Thirty Tigers.

Recorded at Music Shed Studios, The Parlor and Cleary's own Funk Headquarters studio in the historic Bywater neighborhood of NOLA, 'Dyna-Mite' shows off Cleary as the virtuoso talent once described as "nothing short of amazing" by Relix.

Jon Cleary has been covered by the New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Billboard, No Depression, Keyboard, and WBGO.
