What? The Big Four?
That's right, The Big Four. It's hot Rhythm'n'Blues, cool jazz-grooves that'll knock you out of your socks.
Who are they?
A couple of cats from Belgium and Holland who you might have seen with a shipload of former bands like The Harmony Two Tones, The Jitterbugs, Texan Tail, The Wild Specialties, Tee, Blues Jungle, Blues Lee and so on. They also played with great musicians like James Harman, Al Copley, Billy Lee Riley, Otis Grand, Eddie C. Campbell and so on.
And what do they sound like?
Hard to say, but imagine a jukebox playing Sam Butera, Illinois Jaqcuet, Gene Krupa, Louis Prima, Willis 'Gator' Jackson, Jack McDuff, Bill Doggett, Ray Charles, Kenny Burrell and Plas Johnson. That's the idea.
Is there anybody who still wants to listen to that kind of stuff?
Oh absolutely!! Since they started of in 2000, they played the big stages across Europe like the Belgium Rhythm'n'Blues Festival in Peer (B), the Rock'n'Roll Jamboree in Senigallia (It), Jazz Rally Düsseldorf (Ger), Breda Jazz Festival (NL), the Rhythm Riot in Camber (U.K) and the Birmingham Jazz Festival (U.K.). Also very special was to play a show for 15.000 people for the King of Belgium (birthday) in Brussels. Anywhere they play it's a party, so there's something to look out for!
Why should I be interested in this band?
Well, that's up to you. Maybe you want to dance your pants off, maybe you'll just enjoy the great quality of the musicians, perhaps you are interested in an almost forgotten part of the musical heritage of the forties and fifties or even you're sole interest is just to watch some good looking guys...
