cd cover The Real Stormin' Norman
Every One Tells a Story (artist release)
$14.99

Best known for his work as the pianist, composer and second voice in the legendary NYC band Stormin' Norman and Suzy (their Fantasy Rag - 1975 and Ocean of Love - 1978 are longtime pop favorites around here), Norman Zamcheck returns with his 2006 solo release of new songs. You might miss the voice of Suzy, but Norman's songs and piano playing are as solid as ever, and he's joined by some of my favorite CT/NY area musicians.

Listen:
At the wastrel bar
Love everlasting
8 bridges
Ghosts

The artist says:
With Every One Tells a Story, Norman Smiler Zamcheck, the Real Stormin' Norman, returns to the road.

Norman Zamcheck was the pipe-smoking piano-banging composer/leader of the band Stormin' Norman & Suzy, acclaimed from the mid-seventies through the early 90's for their unpredictable and explosive barrelhouse-rock shows. The group started in Boston, toured for years across the northeast, and moved to New York, where they soon gained national attention and major record deal. When the band split up Norm switched gears and toured for nearly a decade with Andy Statman, celebrated master of bluegrass and Klezmer (traditional Jewish) music. To support a growing family he also became a teacher and administrator in a series of tough inner-city schools.

Norm's piano style is based on the sound of his masters: James P. Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis, Otis Spann, Mose Allison. His songwriting reflects his blues and boogie-woogie background (with some harmonic detours) along with rock and folk roots.

He has written hundreds of songs over the course of his lifetime. Every one tells a story.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
