 Curtis
Salgado Band
- Here's the game plan of what I do,says Salgado, whose musical
adventures have led him to gigs as a singer and harmonica player
with numerous bands, most notably the Robert Cray Band, Roomful
of Blues, and, for a brief period, Santana: "I like a lot
of different music. I like jazz and blues and soul and gospel
and country and western. I like everything from George Jones
to George Clinton, and that's the truth. My music is a hybrid
of all the stuff that I admire. I just play what's in my head,
and I try to piece the song together, and for whatever reason,
it usually comes out as hard-ass rhythm and blues."
Salgado was the inspiration for Jake, the late John Belushi's
Blues Brothers character, leading Belushi to dedicate the Blues
Brothers' album Briefcase Full of Blues to Salgado. www.curtissalgado.com
KK
Martin, Lester Chambers and Ronnie (The Iceman) Schumake Trio
- The venerable legend of rhythm and blues Lester Chambers joins
with the modern disciple of Delta KK Martin to return to the
roots of the blues. Born in Mississippi, Chambers was the voice
and soul of the legendary Chambers Brothers. Starting out as
a gospel group, The Chambers Brothers became an influential
element of a new vanguard of young artists in the 60s and 70s,
producing hits such as "Time has come Today" and "People
Get Ready."
In
the 70s and 80s, KK Martin played rock and roll. Martin did
a brief stint as a replacement guitarist with the Albert Collins
Band, and began doing session dates with the likes of Rick Derringer,
Donald (Duck) Dunn from Booker T. and the M.G.s, It's a beautiful
Day. Forming his own original rock trio, throughout the seventies
and early eighties Martin performed and shared stages with,
Van Halen, Journey, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue. The band was signed
to A&M records from 85 to 87. The 90s found Martin returning
to his first love -- the Blues. Martin's debut CD earned him
the Los Angeles Music Awards and the House of Blues 1999 Outstanding
Blues Artist.
 Ronnie
"The Iceman" Shumake began his professional career
working R&B clubs in his home town of St. Louis, Missouri,
the birthplace of the blues. He moved to Los Angeles to accept
a gig with The Blossoms and has since gone on to play with Willie
Nelson, Danny Gatton, Gary Muledeer, Papa John Creech, Delaney
Bramlett, John Lee Hooker, Reed Gratz, Medley, Ray Price, The
Crystals, Harvey Mandel, Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell, Lester
Chambers, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Doug Kershaw and Canned
Heat. For more than a dozen years, he served as music director
for country music legend Roger Miller and, as a former member
of Canned Heat, he is featured in The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia
of Rock and Roll. www.lesterchambers.com
