John Gorney, Blue Midnight, WPNA 1390AM, Chicago 4/2000

The Rhythm Rockets play with the authenticity that will keep the Jump Blues tradition alive

Product Description

The Rhythm Rockets hail from Chicago, Illinois. Since forming in 1996, they've performed over 150 dates a year. Heavily influenced by the sax-driven Jump, Rhythm & Blues bands of the late 1940's and early 1950's, the Rhythm Rockets bring to the stage the high-energy roots music that influenced the founding fathers of Rock and Roll. This recording captures everything the Rhythm Rockets are known for-- a three piece saxophone section delivering a fat, playful personality of sound. A rhythm section that provides a solid and continuous pulse-- all building the foundation for the sultry, smokey vocals.

This review is from: Take Off! (Audio CD)

The album contains a great mix of tunes both originals and covers done in a distinct style. The Rockets perform a unique style of modern Jump Blues. If you love saxophones, slap bass, smokey vocals...you can't miss with this one!
