Strutt Time Moves On

Formed in New Jersey, Strutt was a disco-funk band signed briefly to the Brunswick label. Their lineup included guitarist Carmen Cosentino, keyboardist Frank Portolano, woodwind player Jim Mecke, trombonist Joe Escobar, bassist Edward Walker, and drummer Roger Zumbo. With pianist/producer Benny Clark at the helm, Strutt recorded a full-length LP, Time Moves On, in 1975. “Funky Sign” garnered some airplay in dance clubs, as did the title track and its B-side “Front Row Romeo“. However, nothing further was heard from the group.
