Biography

Excellent, marvelous wall-to-wall grooves…between the wicked guitar work and the brassy horn section, things never stop swinging.
--USA TODAY

Roomful Of Blues plays an inspired, lively and heated brand of rippling, up-tempo, horn-dominated R&B.
--ROLLING STONE

Few bands swing the blues more exuberantly than Roomful of Blues…boisterous and relentlessly upbeat.
--ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

4.0 out of 5 stars A good intro to the old lineups, May 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Swingin & Jumpin (Audio CD)
If you like the old swing side of the blues, then this is a good album for you. It documents Roomful through the 70s when swing and blues were pretty much underground. The old lineups are good and the arrangements are tight. This collection is supposed to highlight the various frontmen from the early years including Big Joe Turner, Duke Robillard and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, but I feel Sugar Ray Norcia and Mac Odum are just as good if not better. What this album does accomplish is showing what a strong horns section Greg Piccolo, Rich Lataille, Bob Enos and Doug James comprised, and why all following arrangements will be less powerful. The albums best tracks are Jumpin' For Joe, That's My Life and Take It Like A Man. Worth owning for the price alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Swing or Blues...., August 5, 2001

J. Jacobi (Westland, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Swingin & Jumpin (Audio CD)
I HAVE A COUPLE OF R O B CD'S AND AM A BLUES FAN. I ENJOY THE HORN SECTION AND WAS CURIOUS TO HEAR THE TRIBUTES TO THE PAST GREATS. THIS CD IS MORE AN ATTEMPT TO CASH IN ON THE SWING MOVEMENT - AS IT IS SELECTED TUNES FROM THE FIRST 3 CD'S - FEATURING 40'S SWING SOUND - WHICH IS THE SOUND THEY ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE - THAN A BLUES RECORDING; THOUGH SOME 40'S BLUES IS EVIDENT. THAT IS NOT TO SAY IT'S BAD - IT IS BADD. MOST ARE INSTRUMENTALS AND THE FOOT CAN'T STOP FROM KEEPING THE BEAT - AS BACALL SAID TO BOGART - "YES, BUT IS IT LEGIT SWING"??? THIS IS!
