BOSTON: ROOMFUL OF BLUES AT THE THE REGATTABAR
For nearly half a century, Roomful of Blues has been delivering its signature blend of swing, rock 'n' roll, jump, blues and R&B to euphoric audiences all over the world. on Friday, February 6th at 7:30 pm they will perform at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel(1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757). The band has earned five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards. To commemorate and celebrate their 45th anniversary, the band hosted a three-day party in March of 2013 at one of their favorite haunts, The Ocean Mist, in Matunuck, Rhode Island. The band blew the doors off the packed club, playing to roaring ovations each night. Happily, the proceedings were recorded and the resulting album, 45 Live, is among Roomful of Blues' crowning achievements. The band has been led since 1998 by Vachon. Roomful of Blues has always maintained its signature sound through great musicianship and a stellar horn section - featuring tenor and alto saxophonist (and clarinetist on 45 Live's Jambalaya) Rich Lataille, who first joined the band in 1970. Lataille's masterful playing can evoke either the fat-toned, honking sax of the glory days of early rock or the cool elegance of big band swing jazz. While Roomful of Blues has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world, they have never sounded fresher or stronger than with the current line-up. Along with Vachon and Lataille, the band includes vocalist Phil Pemberton, long-time tenor and baritone saxophonist Mark Earley, trumpeter Doug Woolverton, bassist John Turner, drummer Chris Rivelli and keyboardist Rusty Scott. They've gigged with stars ranging from bluesmen B.B. King, Otis Rush and Stevie Ray Vaughan to rockers Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana. The band has performed in cities from coast to coast, and traveled abroad to 22 countries including Lebanon, Poland, Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey and Russia. There is a $25 cover.
BOSTON: ROBERTA GAMBARINI QUARTET AT SCULLERS
Celebrated throughout the world by fans, critics and many of the world's greatest musicians, Roberta Gambarini and her Quartet (Pianist Eric Reed, bassist Ameen Saleem and legendary drummer, Jimmy Cobb) will perform at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Friday & Saturday, February 6th & 7th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Gambarini became a fast-rising star • and a GRAMMY Nominee - with the 2006 release of her debut album, 'Easy to Love.' A smashing success on all fronts, Roberta's debut secured her spot on the international touring circuit, where she continuously graces the most prestigious venues and festivals. In 2007, the Jazz Journalists Association voted her Best Female Jazz Vocalist of the year. Roberta will be joined by one of the most well-known and highly respected drummers in jazz: Jimmy Cobb, who was the drummer on the highest selling jazz recording of all time - Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." Jimmy has worked with Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and most recently, fronting his own celebrated group, "Jimmy Cobb's Mob." Pianist Eric Reed is one of today's most in-demand pianists and is a first call pianist/musical director for many of today's top vocalists. When not performing with Gambarini and others, Eric is right at home leading his own groups and also has a wealth of recordings to his name, including his most recent recording, "The Adventurous Monk."
