Carlos’ love for the Blues goes back over 30 years. His influences
include Muddy Waters and the usual Harp Maestros (Little Walter,
Big Walter, Sonny Boy II, etc.) He also acknowledges the influences
of current masters such as Kim Wilson, William Clarke and Paul delay.
He has shared the stage with such luminaries as Willie ‘Big
Eyes’ Smith, Carl Weathersby, Detroit Junior, and Willie Lane,
while performing at top venues like BB King’s, The Stanhope
House, The Turning Point, Tribeca Blues and other Blues hotspots.
Although a glib and charming front man, he would rather let the
music speak for itself.
Leo
Jordan (Guitar/Vocals)
Leo
Jordan is a guitarist whose style is grounded in the tradition of
Blues and Jazz. With influences that are diverse and far ranging,
including Wes Montgomery, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Charlie Christian,
Albert King, and more, Leo brings an individual approach to all
he does. As a formally trained musician Leo has the ability to whip
up a lot of music and is the "musical director" of the
band. As a working musician he is logical, yet spontaneous and entertaining;
a true crowd pleaser - watch out, hot stuff coming through!
Larry ‘Guitar’
Graham (Bass)
As
a teen, Larry went in search of some of the big names that he
heard on his Blues LP’s. This led to meetings with such
masters as Muddy Waters and the three Kings (Albert, Freddy
and BB). He even roadied a bit for Luther Allison and James
Cotton. As his nickname indicates, Larry is a guitarist, but
his love for the music leads him to holding down the bottom
for the band.. His bass playing has been described as “simple,
yet elegant” and as the “Blues purist” of
the group, he keeps the repertoire true – if it ain’t
bluesy enough for Larry, the band won’t be playing it.
Larry has worked with Luther Allison, Bob Margolin, Little Willie
Lane, and many others while working up and down the East Coast.
Paul
Undersinger (Drums)
During his extensive career, Paul has performed a wide variety
of styles ranging from jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, country
and symphonic work. Major influences range from jazz drummers
like Gene Krupa, Joe Morello, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones and
many others to rock drummers such as Jim Keltner and Ringo
Starr. Paul is a former student of Joe Morello and is currently
studying with John Riley. He plays Pearl Drums and Gretch
Drums with Paiste cymbals.
During the 1980's Paul played with national musical acts
such as: The Drifters, The Shirelles, Little Anthony, The
Crystals, Lou Christie, Danny & the Juniors and others.
Other musicians of note that Paul has performed with include:
John Pizzarelli, Billy Mitchell (Count Basie), Mike Richmond
(Miles Davis), Arnie Lawrence, and Bill Triglia (Charles
Mingus), Roxy Perry (NY Blues Queen), Melvin Sparks and
Pete Levin (Paul Simon).
In the Summer of 2001, Paul had the honor and pleasure
of performing with Russ DeFilippis of "rd3" and
George Benson for a charity event to benefit children in
need of emergency medical assistance. Russ and Paul went
on to form rd3, a jazz trio still performing regularly in
the NY Metropolitan area. (www.rd3jazz.com)
When not behind the drums, Paul works as a graphic designer
and photographer (www.paulworks.com). He created all artwork
and photographs for the latest cd from Jordan Rudess of
Dream Theater on Magna Carta Records. Other artwork and
photography clients include: The Kinks, Dave Davies, John
Patrucci, rd3, Regis Philbin, Jackie Mason, Sally Struthers
and others.
