Backbender label surprises us again with a new Jumpin`Jack’s piece of work In this cd he shows himself as a fantastic entertainer and expert in different blues styles from West Coast and Kansas City classic swing, in the path of Charles Brown or Lloyd Glenn, to the elegant New Orleans piano performing of artists like James Booker or Dr John You will find on this cool honestly done cd powerful passionate grooves but also Chicago shuffles like Mother-in-Law Blues where Jumpin’ Jack gives us a precise excellent vocal work On piano he shows himself as an elegant imaginative first class fine performer, but also as a very generous man with the rest of musicians Precious songs like Losing My Sin or There I Was, both in minor key, or Another Fool, an enigmatic groove with funky drops, which are all real treasures Dennis Gruenling’s harmonica work –another Backbender Records great artists- sounds as good as he normally does
