Reviews

01/01/2001 Ben Bartlett, Guitarist Magazine.

"Rod Fogg's laid back grooves and gentle jazz styles will have you reaching for your Mickey Baker book to learn some of those cool chords. Heard here with his three piece outfit comprising himself on guitar, Jerome Davies on hot upright bass and Dave Webster on drums, Rod's fluent phrases and melodic lines have an uncanny ability to weave themselves into the "hum this" department in your brain. A master of expressive playing dynamics, Fogg's command of the instrument and ability to really hold back and use the musical space to best effect is a great lesson in subtlety. A fantastic “live” drum sound and beautifully simple production consisting of just a smidgeon of reverb on Rod's creamy toned guitar make “A Cool Move” a highly listenable record". Four stars.
