Description

Expertly straddling the fine line between the underground and the mainstream, Jason Yudoff & The New Hotness is the rare combination of a marketable band with catchy hooks and commercially accesible 'singles' that also has a genre-defying jamband mentality and a high-energy live feel. Their wide range of influences include Led Zepplin, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, P-Funk, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughn, King's X, Rush, Billy Joel, Jamiroquoi, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Extreme, Chick Corea, Rage Against The Machine, Herbie Hancock, 60's soul, 70's funk, and 80's hard rock.

Named "Unsigned Artist of the Month" in Keyboard Magazine and placed on the Official 2005 Grammy Ballot in 8 different categories for his solo debut album "Smoke Sex Water", NYC-born singer/songwriter Jason Yudoff's percussive keyboard skills lead this hypnotic group down an original path of funk, rock, pop and soul with a hip, energetic and passionate vibe.

There just isn't anyone out there with this kind of sound.

REVIEWS for SMOKE SEX WATER:

"Rock 'n' roll piano is very much alive in the capable hands of New York's jason Yudoff. And we're not just talking technique, here: Jason's SMOKE SEX WATER embodies the spirit of rock, in word and - judging by the album art - deed. From the Grand Funk-ish opening cuts to the Journey-esque love songs, Jason shows a remarkably consistent concept of songwriting, singing, performance, and 'tude. Holding forth mostly on piano, he also spends significant time burning on B-3 and Clav. A very tight rythym section complements jason's blend of arrangement precision and satisfying looseness of groove. A couple of Elton John-style ballads rounds out the set. But the emphasis is squarely on party music of the highest order. For more information, visit www.jasonyudoff.com

"Jason Yudoff has hit a home run with his debut disc - 'Smoke Sex Water.' Yudoff is at once a true and talented musician, whose lyrics expose a man whose art is born from an analytical mind and the heart of an eternal romantic. The bluseyrock melodies swim alongside powerful keyboard riffs, and Yudoff's growl adds a lethal injection of blue-eyed soul that, in its hottest moments, leaps right out of the speakers and demands nothing short of the listener's undying attention. 'No Such Thing' has the bright eclectic dimensions reminiscent of Steely Dan, while the opener 'All Day' has an influence that is more in the vein of Dr. John. There are also numbers like 'Guilty,' where Jason takes Randy Newman's composition to a deep and dark place. Yudoff's smartest choice in the production of 'Smoke Sex Water' is the 'live' feel of the recordings. This gives Jason the opportunity to play to his strong suit, and that is his musicianship. Each song breathes and betrays anything close to formulaic, while leaving the road open to some wonderfully mind-blowing grooves, like what can be found in the shaker 'Pride' and the instrumental jam 'Reckless.' Yudoff spends most of the disc behind the electric piano, but makes the leap to the Hammond organ and Moog synth when a more colorful sound is called for, like in the most groove-heavy numbers 'Happiness' and 'Pride.' It's real rock 'n' roll, and Jason Yudoff's powerful keystrokes make the absence of a heavy guitar presence all but unnoticeable. Yudoff brings the curtain down on 'Smoke Sex Water' with the piano instrumental 'Mother,' an inspired tribute, and a fitting end to a passionate and colorful collection of songs. Hop on the Jason Yudoff bandwagon at www.jasonyudoff.com"

"Mixing Jazz, Funk and Pop we might have another Billy Joel here! There is even (gasp) a Hammond organ shoved in for good measure. The most touching of the tracks is the absolutely brilliant instrumental piano piece titled simply Mother, at the end. It just comes across as real music. Probably the most powerful aspect of the recording is, despite its studio polishing, it still reminds the listener of the "live" club or bar performance that would suit the music so well. So bottoms up - belly up the musical bar for a taste of Jason Yudoff!"

- Rock Record Collectors Association

"Jason Yudoff performs music like a race car driver. There are no stop and yield signs. Yudoff puts the medal to the pedal on his rhythmic high-energy keyboard playing and singing and he takes audiences on a rock and roll musical journey through the 60s, 70s and right on up to his own unique style."
- Music-Tech.Net Indie Artist Showcase Review

"Having just seen "Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King", Jason Yudoff is like a smoking, sunglasses-wearing Aragorn if you can imagine that! His music sounds like a funkier version of Ben Folds Five, Black Crowes and Santana on songs like "Happiness", "How I Want To Feel" and "Pride".
- Shmat Records

"Jason Yudoff and his band The New Hotness hit you hard with the funk. Cool keyboards, thumping bass and Jason's vocals take you on a smooth-alicious ride to cool-ville. All Day sets the tone for an outstandingly original album that manages to mixes funk, blues and pop into one satisfying package.

"Jason Yudoff is one hellacious Rock & Roll piano playing vocalist who commands your attention and applause at each and every performance. Absolutely smokin'!"
- Larry Oakes - former keyboardist/guitarist with Foreigner, Bad Company, Derek Trucks & Founder of "Singer/Songwriter Sessions" (NYSongwriters.com)

"Old school funk! New school hip! Authentic rock & roll played with taste and energy...Jason Yudoff is the real deal!"
- Michael Packer - Blues Artist and NYC Promoter

"New York City artist Jason Yudoff is building a strong Long Island following. The singer/songwriter/keyboardist, along with his band The New Hotness, are doing the funk/rock thing as well as anyone today. In 45 minutes, Yudoff and company turned a room full of stangers into life-long fans. Performing their dr. john/dave mason-like originals "Pride", "Happiness" and other selections from Jason's latest full-length CD Smoke Sex Water, the tight five-piece unit rocked, grooved and shook the Munchaba Lounge to it's very foundation..."
