Here is “Melodian,” a single from the upcoming album ‘Transmission’ by the horn-led funk-soul sextet the Huntertones.

It’s hard to imagine Ohio’s funky jazz-rock sextet Huntertones sounding any better than this. And that’s saying something.

The name has changed but the product is basically the same. They didn’t mess with a good thing, so there’s a lot to recommend about ‘Huntertones.’

The Huntertones, née The Dan White Sextet, lean on trombonist Chris Ott’s arranging magic to give another cinematic song a swift, hard-bop kick in the pants.

“Your Song” is as dynamic and full of nifty little turns as life itself.
