Synopsis

Product Description
With a distinctly contemporary and adventurous vision, Heritage Blues Orchestra takes its audience on a rare musical ride. The group carries us over the main highways and big-city streets as well as the dusty back roads of the American south while weaving its way to the crossroads where Blues and the roots of early Jazz were born.

H.B.O draws its sound from the field hollers, work songs, spirituals, soaring gospel voices and the hard-driving rhythms of the deep Blues from the delta and the hill country of northern Mississippi. The group is driven by three voices, two guitars, drums/percussion, harmonica and a fiery four piece horn section (tuba, 2 trumpets, trombone, saxophone).

Spotlighting male and female voices, bold brassy sounds of New Orleans as well as modern jazz horn sounds and a heavy back beat, H.B.O serves up a powerful and compelling new take on America s Blues heritage. With an emphasis on musical exploration, H.B.O digs into innovative musical territory making a unique and exhilarating contribution to the Africa-American musical canvas. You ll recognize this group as something breathtakingly new even as old African-American musical traditions rise up to meet you.

Heritage Blues Orchestra is perhaps the most exciting African-American roots group to come along in a very long time. Even as you sense just how heavily steeped the group is in tradition, you ll marvel at how boldly they march into the musical land of the new and nameless.
