JELLYROLL Born out of the Swing craze of the early 90's Jellyroll has since come into their own. From the very beginning, they have embraced a sound that's unique, danceable and stylish. The tunes they pull from the late 40's and early 50's come straight from the roots of Rhythm and Blues. They cover tracks from artists like Helen Humes, Louis Jordan, Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Mae Morse, T-bone Walker, Big Mama Thornton, Ruth Brown, and Tiny Grimes. Their originals are distinctively styled and fit seamlessly in the dance set. They're fronted by a charismatic, smokey-voiced gal named Belinda Blair who is one of the few female singers in this style that's got some real backbone and fiery blues to offer up. more |
