'60's Chicago Blues survivors - jazzboCR - 03-01-2015
The Siegel-Schwall Band a rollicking stage presence who were always serious about the music. Corky Siegel went on to found Chamber Blues, a witty concoction of Blues and Euro chamber music. SSB went out with a bang, took a 30-year hiatus and then came back storming in 2010. Of particular note is their bass player, Rollo Radford--he coulda made the big bucks playing with anyone but came again when they called--the mark of a real, real good outfit. A Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegel%E2%80%93Schwall_Band SSB's Site, run by Corky: http://siegelschwall.com/ Why you should consider that 2010 CD: http://www.allmusic.com/album/flash-forward-mw0000214405 If you are into a type of "Third Stream" or exotic music blendings, check out 3 Pieces...

Appreciate the compliment, SteveO. I gotta be good--this is one righteously tough, discerning crowd. Mutt stuff gets shown the door quickly by Music Head and others.
I mentioned "chamber Blues" above--that can be a hard concept to wrap your head around so how about some tunes? Keep a very open mind for this...
