No wonder, since he spent years working with Music Maker Foundation backing up the likes of Guitar Gabriel, Cool John Ferguson, Beverly "Guitar" Watkins, Albert White, Robert Lee Coleman, and many more." - Roanoke Times "Sol's vocalizing reminds me of Mose Allison... Van Morrison, and Mississippi hill country blues performers." - Big City Blues Magazine The Sol Roots Trio performance includes master bassist TJ Turqman and super solid drummer Vic Chase. write your comments about the article :: © 2024 Jazz News :: home page |
