Search - Alvin Jett & the Phat noiZ Blues Band :: Milk And Cookies

Milk and Cookies continues Alvin Jett & the Phat noiZ Blues Band s commitment to in-your-face hard driving blues with 10 new songs written by the members of the band. The original material reveals roots in rock, funk, R&B, and soul, and at times, a hint of gospel and rockabilly. The band has worked hard to craft a signature sound that transforms easily from high-energy rockers to blues ballads. Although serious about their music, the Phat noiZ Blues Band occasionally projects its sense of humor into songs about love, life, and its complexities. The rapid-fire guitar attack of Alvin Jett is complimented by jazz influenced sax riffs delivered by musical partner Frank Bauer, fueled by driving rhythms of Jeremy West, and held together by the tenacious bass lines of Matt Davis. Milk and Cookies was co-produced by Steve Ewing of Ten Ton Productions with the help of the band. The album was also engineered and mixed by Steve and recorded at Music Creek Soundworks Inc. in St. Louis. Guests on the album include harmonica player, Arthur Mississippi Williams, who also provides background vocals, and Rich McDonough on slide guitar. The band will be participating in the 2007 International Blues Challenge (IBC) sponsored by the St. Louis Blues Society. They were finalists in the 2006 IBC and the 2005 release, Wet My Beak, was in the final five for Best Self-Released CD.
