Eclectism is what defines Buzztown best. The band, born in 2007, happily mixes blues, jazz, soul, boogie, rock and funk, with a wink to Robben Ford, no less! Here comes their new CD “Wherever you hide” where one can find traces of the diverse tastes, moods, atmospheres and influences ingested by the four musicians who certainly know how to stick together and show how much fun they have playing music. An infectious enthusiam, for sure, since several friends decided to join the venture such as harp player Vincent Bucher, Hammond organ player David Carion, vocalist Emilie Hédou, sax player Dominique Marc, trumpet player Valentin Pellet and trombonist Mathieu Dufourq. With this second album, Buzztown certainly passed the test!

It’s been a while since Chris placed an advertisement in the Washington City Paper calling for seasoned musicians to work on a blues/rock recording project. When I first showed up at his studio, barefoot and hung over from the previous night’s debauchery, I had no idea what lay in store as I began setting up my keyboard. I hadn’t played in several weeks since parting ways with yet another band… my head hurt… and Chris and I did not seem to have very much in common, at least on the surface. I was an engineer who worked for the Department of Defense. Chris would laugh and describe himself as one who “stacked fruit in symmetrical pyramids.” We were soon joined by John (a bass wielding medical technician affectionately referred to as “Moose”), Ray (a shaggy-looking wedding photographer and versatile guitarist), and Jeff (who spoke quietly, but banged the drums). Once we got started, it was immediately obvious to us that we were having too much fun playing music together to care about "cultural differences." And so it began.While we leisurely recorded some original songs over the next few months, we were visited by a wide variety of musicians and personalities – background vocalists Nancy and Margaret, harmonica players, saxophonists, another drummer who could muster nothing more than a polka beat, a lead guitarist with an unusually large ego, and a chiropractor/guitarist from New Jersey who (as he pulled a joint from his shirt pocket) offered to buy the chair in which he sat for $50. There were other colorful characters, who may have contributed to these songs over the years, but they have gone their separate ways, their names forgotten.

60 years of stage presence and not a bit tired. Back to the roots.The fans love his music. J. Boss toured Germany in the 1960s with beat greats Lords, Rattles and Liverbirds. The J. BOSS BLUES BAND (JBBB) was one of the first blues bands in southern Germany in the early 1970s and toured all over Germany at that time. This period included appearances as the backing band for Errol Dixon, Eddie Taylor & Louis Meyers, Jim Kahr (ex John Lee Hooker Band) and Judy Cheeks. In order to broaden their range, they dropped the "blues" from the band name and from then on performed as the J. BOSS BAND. The band enjoyed success and played in live clubs, discos, rock festivals and biker meetings. Film composer and rock legend J. Boss has performed on stage with the greatest blues, jazz and rock legends, including Lords, Rattles, Errol Dixon, Jim Kahr (ex John Lee Hooker Band), Judy Cheeks, Henry Gray, Howlin’ Wolf Band, Eric Burdon, Puhdys, Dr. Feelgood, Savoy Brown Blues Band, Blues Brothers, Rory Gallagher and a German tour with Bo Diddley. In 1989, J. Boss composed and played the soundtrack to the film “Unter weitem Himmel” by Oluf Zierl. The J. Boss Band finally disbanded in 2010. But after that, J. Boss founded another blues band. New studio recordings were made in 2019. With their new album “White Cats Play The Blues”, the J. BOSS BLUES BAND is now starting anew and is also present again with live performances. Blues will never die!

Terry’s approach to recording the album was as unique as his career. He aimed to capture the raw energy of live performances by working with musicians he has shared the stage with. Recorded live at The Marshall Studio in four days, arrangements were created on the fly to keep the atmosphere relaxed and spontaneous. This method resulted in a record rich in moments of spontaneity and raw energy, perfectly embodying the spirit of the blues.

They say a third album comes with no surprises for longtime fans; Electric does not fit into that category. The Melbourne multi-hyphenate has crafted innovative arrangements across 12 tracks of Seventies blues rock fused with contemporary sounds.Co-produced with Grammy-nominated engineer David Davis (Miguel, The War on Drugs, Keith Urban), Hamish Anderson has reached a new level of musicality and rollicking bravado.The collection draws endless comparisons. “Late in the Evening” could easily sit in the canon of Tom Petty, while “It Ain’t Easy” is Keith Richards’ legendary swagger with a little more anthemic ambition. The earth-shattering blues rocker “So Alive,” however, is the highlight. Thanks to its crisp strut and modernist aftertaste, it’s any wonder Gary Clark Jr. and George Thorogood bring Anderson out on tour any chance they get/

Glenn Lane has a big, bold voice reminiscent of Little Milton's, plays a mean Hammond B-3 organ, and wrote the dozen songs that comprise Me and the Blues.... Lane harbors a hefty soul influence in his strong vocals, injecting the forceful "Stay Gone" and "Can't Leave These Railroad Tracks" with urgent passion. A taste of the church informs the uplifting, keyboard-drenched "You Never Gave Up." "Little Money, Big Trouble" swings handily.... Punchy horns mingle with tight grooves throughout this set, which makes a convincing case for Glenn Lane as a serious up-and-comer on the contemporary blues circuit. -- Living Blues

13. Love Me Alone - 3:23

Love Me Alone is the sophomore album from latina soulstress Hilda Lamas. This album is definitely one for every blues music lover to add to their music collection. 
Lamas 13 track effort is commercially strong featuring Lamas singing in front of a very studio tight band. I'll Be Gone has a bluesy swagger. No Meaning has a certain Latin rhythm sounding as if it could be a track right from a mcontemporary Santana release. Blues Man In A Three Piece Suit has a solid blues base and Lamas kicks dirt as she delivers with command. Over You has a R&B taste to it and again with harmonic vocals Lamas sells the goods. Nice Set Of Wheels sets off with a soulful strut. Lamas continues to demonstrate that she has the pipes to carry her own band. HeartStealer is another track with a strong Santana influence, hot guitar riffs and Latin percussion. On Take It Like A Woman, Lamas delivers a strong message and again shows critical signs of commercial talent. This is a very uniform release profiling Lamas as a front woman featuring her vocal skills and style. I believe that she has been successful in her efforts and believe that she will receive super accolades for her efforts. The band features Mike Gregory on Keys, Jesse Flores and John Liberto on guitars, Tom Engle on bass and Ernest Ruiz on drums. --Bman's Blues Report

Chuck's musical education started long before he picked up a guitar. At age eight, he studied oboe and piano.  Four years later his godfather exposed him to the musical diversity of Caribbean culture and encouraged him to play guitar.  While in high school he played bass and guitar in small R&B combos, rubbing elbows and jamming with future members of Parliament Funkadelic. While attending Lafayette College in the early 70's, he was a member of the Tim McCabe Blues Gang. The band's primary function was that of a backup band for touring blues legends on the East Coast college circuit. It was then that he was able to play for legends John Lee Hooker, J.B. Hutto and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He also gained valuable exposure playing college parties and small clubs in the Delaware River Valley.   Most recently, Chuck has been playing guitar and singing his blues for crowds up and down the Jersey Shore, Philadelphia New York City and metropolitan New York areas while always returning to play venues in his hometown of Red Bank, NJ. As a member of the Norman Seldin Big Band, The Panama Chapel Band, The Cal Vetrane Blues Band, The Haugenes Project and a guest artist with The Red Bank Blues Band, Heavy Soul, Herd of Blues, Al Holmes and The Tribe, Poppa John and The Jam Band he has lent his vocal talents and guitar to many a fantastic night. Chuck has led the band as they opened for popular artists such as Little Feat and Kenny Wayne Shepard. The band has performed in prestigious musical venues like NJPAC, The Count Basie Theatre and SOPAC. They have performed at Le Festiblues International de Montreal; The Riverhead Blues Festival in Riverhead L.I.; The Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival at Six Flags Great Adventure, Freehold NJ; The Westfield Jazz & Blues Festival in Westfield NJ; The Red Bank Jazz & Blues Festival, Riverfest and The Jazz in the Park Series in Red Bank NJ; The Clearwater Festival at Gateway National Park at Sandy Hook NJ and Asbury Park NJ; The Blues by The Beach Concert Series in Long Branch NJ and represented The Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation in 2007 and 2013 at The International Blues Competition held in Memphis Tenn.  The Chuck Lambert Band represents a commitment to expanding the range and scope of the Blues.  It incorporates the vitality and innovation of modern electric blues with the soul and depth of its traditional forms.  Each member of the band is an exceptional talent, but their unity puts them on a whole different level.  The rhythm section of Eddie Ellis on bass guitar and Chip Dixon on drums radiates pulse, syncopation and energy.  Bob Stasiak on piano and Eric Salkin on Sax epitomize style and class with dynamic improvisation. Chuck completes the musical fellowship with his distinguished vocals and superb guitar playing.  The result of their synergy is a unique and original narration of the power of the Blues and its enduring legacy.

Renowned Kansas City Blues Musician) Leonard James (Jimmy) LaForte, 62, Kansas City, MO, passed away May 29, 2010 at his home. He was the original singer and bandleader along with Rich VanZant at the Saturday afternoon Harling’s in 1984. The guitarist with that band, Jay EuDaly, has said, “In his prime, LaForte had a voice, an authentic voice, that was unmistakable and no one could touch him when he sang in that classic R&B style.” LaForte’s most recent album, Catfish Pizza Breakfast , is available for purchase at several sites online. A memorial jam was held at BB’s Lawnside Bar-B-Que on June 12......
"Today I received an entry in the guestbook for this site advising that there's a blues album titled Catfish Pizza Breakfast, the name for which arose from the signage above.  The principal vocalist is Kansas Citian Jim La Forte.  Here's what his son, Matt La Forte, says in an email:
"The album cover was illustrated by Mo 'St. Louie Mo' Paul, Dad's longtime friend, who plays one hell of a blues harp.
"In 1986, Dad founded a Saturday open jazz and blues jam session at Harlings Upstairs (at 39th Street and Main), along with Rich Van Zant.  This jam continues to this day and is now hosted by another life-long friend of Dad's, Diane 'Mama' Ray, at BB's Lawnside BBQ (at 85th Street and Troost Avenue)".
Guess where 39th Street and Troost Avenue intersect.  Yep, at the Catfish Pizza Breakfast restaurant".
