50 Shades of Blue was originally a duo consisting of bassist/vocalist Christine Webb and guitarist Jim Seely until late 2017 when it became a trio with the addition of drummer and former Papa Juke band mate Dan Crecco. Though Seely admits playing as a duo made them better musicians, especially when keeping time, the talented Crecco adds dimensions beyond belief with his unending funk-centric New Orleans, Washington DC gogo, Mozambique, swing, clave and rhumba beats, as evidenced by 50 Shades’ outstanding sophomore effort. As a result of Crecco’s groove-oriented presence, Seely has more flexibility to develop his extended string-scorching solos and Webb is able to do her best singing yet.
