On top of the prodigious instrumental prowess and talents of three incredible singers in Bill, Junior and Chaney, the strength of the Heritage Blues Orchestra comes from rich experience and the simple refusal to segregate the elements of the African-American musical canvas. The band members’ collective history in blues, jazz, R&B and gospel – and the passion, pride, talent and musical wanderlust that consumes Bill and Junior and so thoroughly excites Chaney – make the Heritage Blues Orchestra the most exciting African-American roots group to come along in a very long time. What begins as a loving celebration of the past emerges as a whole new adventure in music: this is the exhilarating and exciting sound of the Heritage Blues Orchestra.
