Boogie Train? (1st track) is a supercharged boogie-woogie tune with wild piano, pumping bass and storming drums! ?Back At The Chicken Shack? follows with the cool, but forceful sound of Ari?s Hammond organ (plus piano breaks), a rhythm section that pushes proceedings along in fine style, and plenty of bluesy guitar from Celso Salim - if you?re going to cover Jimmy Smith, this is the way to do it! This CD is a natural choice for a musician who has lived for years in New Orleans and played in the most prestigious joints in the region, such as House of Blues and Tipitina's. "What is there not to like? Nothing ? Highly recommended, if you can find it!" ~Norman Darwen.

Possessed of timbre, energy and flawless technique; Robson elevates the style to its best level. Born in São Paulo, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest harmonica players in Brazil. On this album, accompanied by Prado Blues Band and Blue Jeans, Robson aims to show the maturity of his work, allied with the feeling that has put him in the spotlight. His roots flourish in the technique he uses to play 12 bar blues and with his voice. Robson Fernandes' harmonica brings a whole new approach to Brazilian blues and increases the presence of the genre in tropical lands.

Igor Prado has been steadily gaining a reputation as one of the leading south-of-the-border practitioners of that 1940s and 1950s finger-popping, jump blues sound. This time, he knocks out some fine instrumentals, in that vein. Igor plays with taste, talent, energy and good attention to tone. The band is tight and each of the players is excellent. There’s a sense of melody on the jump blues and boogie numbers - a little bit of jazz, a bit of Texas guitar and an original twist. ”...a young talent from South America that has been quickly making a name for himself as one of the best guitar players to emerge in the past few years.” ~Don Jacobson/Southland Blues, USA. Killer stuff – not to be missed!
