***** (5 Stars)

San Francisco's Pollo Del Mar have just issued their first CD. They have definite Zappa influences, a wonderful and unique sense of melody, and plenty of watery underpinnings. The music is loaded with jazz and desert and island shimmer and unique melodies. There is just no one out there doing what they are doing. Sophisticated writing, hot performing, and unusual combinations of elements bring it all together for a unique trip down the highway of instrumental hugeness. A great band. Ferenc Dobronyi is the main man, writer, and lead guitar masher, Jono (Juano Kahones) Jones carries the exceptional rhythm guitar, Jefferson Turner does the bassisms, and Chris Thomas whacks the drums. Pollo Del Marvelous!
