It's for good reason that Roomful of Blues has been declared: America's Best Little Big Band. For over 25 years, the seven-piece tour de force has delivered its house rockin'/roof raisin' brand of jump and swing blues to every corner of the country. Finishing No. 2 in Down Beat's Reader's Poll as Blues Band of the Year in 2002, their popularity continues to surge as they quickly approach national treasure status. On The First Album, co-produced by Joel Dorn and the legendary Doc Pomus, Roomful features an exquisite, gloriously swinging line-up including guitarist Duke Robillard, pianist Al Copley and tenor saxophonist Greg Piccolo. From the opening bounce of Red, Hot & Blue to the sweaty blues grind of Texas Flood to the closing rave-up Honey Hush, Roomful of Blues are the utter definition of jumpin' & swingin'. As Los Angeles Times critic Tony Lioce once declared: This is what it sounded like on the ground floor of what became, and probably was even then, American's truly prime rib jump blues band!
