PLUNKY Releases His 25th CD Album: DRIVE IT

(Liaison Record Distribution)--Urban jazz saxophonist Plunky follows up his nationally acclaimed hit 'Drop' with Drive It, a new 14-song CD album of piping hot dance music, funk, jazz and Go-Go. The hour-long disc revs it up, puts it in gear and stomps on the gas. Destination...the dance floor of the hottest spots in the city for grown and sexy music lovers.

The CD takes off with the up tempo title song 'Drive It,' a hypnotic instrumental groove with mega hit potential amongst urban radio and club audiences alike. Next, Plunky brings back a 80's inspired Euro-retro-dance sound with 'Gotta Keep Moving,' followed by the horn driven party starter 'Every Way But Loose,' a remake of his 1982 release, which charted in both the US and London. Plunky also pays homage to the Mid-Atlantic Go-Go sound with a medley of DC flavored songs like 'Life ' You're Full Of It' and 'A Swing In Everything.' In addition to jazzy instrumentals there are also funkafied teasers like 'Toy Box', which is playful and risque ala Cameo; and, 'Synchrofunkinicity,' a Parliamentonic diatribe with a nasty low end.

Drive It is a musical voyage of rhythmic styles: vocal and instrumental; smooth but pumped up; diverse yet consistently moving' This album is chock full of strong grooves destined to become urban radio and club favorites.

Nationally syndicated radio host Michael Baisden and other urban and jazz deejays made Plunky's 'Drop' the urban-contemporary jazz song of the past year. Drive It will solidify Plunky's place in the forefront of the new urban music scene. Plunky is already planning an East Coast US promotional tour, a Drive It tour in France in December, in addition to highly anticipated club dates in his hometown of Richmond, VA.

With Drive It Plunky reaches a silver milestone: the 25th album release of his 35-year career. Drive It proves he knows how to shift gears and keep it moving.
