25622 this is a stellar recording of a smokin' show. sit back, close your eyes, and you're there. if you're unsure, check out "My Head Is A Bad Neighborhood" to get an idea of what you're in for. or try the kickass "Same Thing". or feed your head on "Reverse Technology", a tribute to coltrane with "Mr. PC", "Afro Blue", and "My Favorite Things" in it. or an alternately blistering and spacy "Feel Good Funk > Jam > Turkish Coffee > Amazing Grace > Turkish Coffee" that spans 40 minutes or so (that's jazz flutist herbie mann's Turkish Coffee). the band is great, and really tight (they tour 300 nights a year). and jason plays harp like you've never heard it, or even imagined it, played before. awesome show. you *need* to hear this! snarkus 2004-11-23 19:16:09 2004-11-23 19:16:09 5 26014 This show is sick, and the quality is almost perfect!

If you need blues tonight, Ringo 2005-03-31 00:12:22 2005-03-31 00:12:22 5 42624 I've had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice and was blown away both times. Totally amazing harp player...you can't imagine til you actually hear him; great up-and-coming young guitar player...thoroughly rips; excellent rhythm section. What more do you need? And they're very friendly, approachable guys who appreciate a good audience. If they're anywhere near you, take the time to go see them: you won't be disappointed. A "MUST SEE" BAND mksonic 2005-05-31 13:02:54 2005-05-31 13:02:54 5 52865 I am telling y'all right now: trust the reviews. These guys are unbelievable. I can't believe I had never heard of these guys before. Jason plays like Duane Allman on the harp. Which is funny, because Duane always said that he tried to immitate a harp when he was playin slide. The guitarist plays like Stevie Ray. This band is sikk. TRUST THE REVIEWS spooksgroove 2005-10-11 17:06:39 2005-10-11 17:06:39 5 53289 Never heard of this guy but man, I'm spreading the word fast. This guy is a harp genius - never a dull moment. Great dynamics with the whole band. We want more! WoW! Fantastic show JKDrummer 2005-10-17 07:15:03 2005-10-17 07:14:31 5 53394 I had heard about Jason Ricci from archive.org posters for a long time, but never sat down and listened to the music.. I tried out this show and let me tell you, it smokes! .. first off, i'm glad to see the mp3's / streaming option was allowed for this recording. thanks for that. .. The first song is a slow intro harp. with mellow / lazy feel to it, a little muffled. but don't let the first track fool you. go to track 2 "Hip Shake" and see what this show is really about ... A get-up and dance fun traditional chord progressions.. really fun stuff. "Blue & Lonesome" is just that .. a slow sad blues song. "Feel Good Funk" is nice and funky, and the "Jam" after FGF is kinda arabian / middle eastern feeling. "Doing Time" is again slow and traditional bluesy ... A fun show overall, great sound quality, and Jason can really blow that harmonica ... he's only in his early 20's so it's great to see such talent at a young age. Check out this show, you won't be dissapointed! Trust the reviews indeed! Tyler 2005-10-18 13:34:17 2005-10-18 13:34:17 4 67042 This is really a wonderful recording. hat a harp player.

No doubt Jason is a bad mother and does things quite frankly can't be done on a diatonic(!), their sound misses the mark as far as blues is concerned. If one is expecting straight ahead blues, you may leave a bit disappointed. These cats are really stretching the boundries. Don't get me wrong, I dig the sound a bunch, in a jazzy kinda way!! Check out Pat Ramsey for a taste of who Jason studied with. Well... harphound 2006-05-05 07:21:12 2006-05-05 07:21:12 3 12 4.75
