CELEBRATING THEIR NEW RELEASE!
Jason Ricci & New Blood's "ROCKET NUMBER 9", (Eclecto Groove Records/October 23, 2007) was produced by Grammy-winning producer JOHN PORTER (Los Lonely Boys, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Ryan Adams) and recorded at
The House of Blues Studio in Encino, CA. The 12 tracks (11 originals + a Sun Ra cover) are an eclectic mix ranging from gut bucket blues to classic rock to out of the planets jazz. JR&NB fuse blues, rock, funk, eastern, and jazz into a seamless cohesion both eclectic and idiosyncratic. Critics have compared them with acts as diverse as The Rolling Stones, John Coltrane and Lou Reed. JR&NB delivers a level of musical virtuosity, while effortlessly keeping the fun, angst and energy of a punk rock band, with the skill, refinement and reflection typical of a jazz ensemble.
