East River Blues Band - High Tide (2006)

Date: 7 Sep 2010 06:47:56

Listening to music intensely for over thirty years starts to have its effect on this guy. I must confess that many new blues releases sometimes make me sleep and listen at the same time. The earphones are the only things that prevent me from tumbling into a deep siesta.
Therefore, I announce with great pleasure, that I was delighted to find the debut album 'High Tide' from the East River Blues Band on my doormat. The four-person band from New York City has certainly created one of the best blues releases I have heard in the last few months. Singer, front man, and composer of most songs Dan Cumberland, bass player Bill Acosta, guitarist Ken Hughes and Tom Brumley on harmonicas form a steady base for guest appearances by Bill Mobley (trumpet), Dennis McDermott (drums), Gary Topper (saxophones), and David Bennett Cohen (piano).
Their play is more than inspired and it gives the band its own trademark sound.

East River Blues Band - High Tide (2006)

From the opening song 'Closing Time' (a swinging shuffle) to the final 'Fiona¹s Shuffle' the listener gets treated to a varied and energetic album. It sounds as if you are listening to unreleased music of The Red Devils. The band wrote ten out of the twelve songs, mostly by Cumberland/Hughes, two songs are beautiful covers of Walter Jacobs and Arthur Blake. Apart from the latter two cover songs, we also hear very good and exciting original Blues, influenced by Classic Chicago, Jazz, Jump, Delta and Piedmont styles. With their debut 'High Tide' the East River Blues Band has truly produced a veritable little masterpiece. You would be lucky to have the opportunity to hear them in an intimate setting.

Biography:The East River Blues Band features hypnotizing harmonica playing, howling whiskey ballads, and soul-filled Blues guitar in all of their keenly original songs. As for covers, whether it's Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Louis Jordan, Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, William Clarke, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band or Eric Clapton, they interpret the material with energy and respect because it is the music they love.
The East River Blues Band is tough. Rough and tumble tough. Most of the band grew up in some of the hardest sections of New York City. Not the places in the movies. No, they did their adolescent time in the working class neighborhoods of Astoria Queens, Greenpoint Brooklyn, and the Housing Projects of Long Island City. To escape that harsh reality, they discovered the Blues. Now that grittiness and suffering, comes through whenever the band hits the stage. From the softest soft to the growlingest growl to the grooviest groove, ERBB lays it down heavy and righteous. Audiences go crazy when they knock down the standards. Yet when ERBB plays an original tune, not only do they elevate the blues to new heights, the crowd stands up and cheers for more.Paul Tanner, a Jazz historian, wrote that in the development of Jazz, the Blues has been played in every era and has been performed with many interpretations. ERBB recognizes this fact. The band members all have a Jazz and Blues background and it shows. Their song list includes tunes by Miles Davis, Louis Jordan, Duke Ellington and Horace Silver. Check out their first CD. It features an original song entitled "Across Town",that has a killer swing beat, quarter note feel, and twelve bar minor blues progression that is influenced by the aforementioned Jazz artists.
