Jeff Zima - LIVE BLUES FROM NEW ORLEANS

Jeff Zima - Live Blues from NEW ORLEANS

23 März! 21.00 Uhr - Eintritt frei

Traditional Trash-Blues, Speed Boogie, Stomps, Jump, Old-time New Orleans Jazz and Ragtime, Yazoo Mambo and Delta Mud comprise the standard repertory of one of the most astonishing blues guitarists living in Europe today.

Jeff cut his teeth on the streets of New Orleans as a sideman for the blues master Augie Rodolla, playing alternately lead and rhythm guitar in Augie’s legendary street band «the Big Mess Blues Band». For years he travelled between New Orleans and Chicago, playing on the streets of numerous small towns and as a guest at several festivals, such as the Helena Blues Fest, Memphis in May or the Taste of Chicago, to name just a few.

He landed in France in 1990 with the band «Pigmeat», and since then has participated in a number of quality groups: the GLORY HOGS, the BIG MESS BLUES BAND, PIG MAMA, and SPITBALL JONES and the BACKWASH BLUES BAND. In 2002, twelve years and well over 1400 concerts later, Jeff decided to play under his own name, accompanied either by double bass and drums or simply by his steel slide and cast iron foot.
With a commanding stage presence and more than 300 songs of all styles, from New Orleans to Chicago, from the 20’s to the 50’s, from Bessie Smith and Muddy Waters to Louis Jordan, Howlin’ Wolf, Leadbelly, Elmore James and Ma Rainey (as well as his own compositions), JEFF ZIMA has something to satisfy the most raving blues and jazz freaks, be they bikers or grandmas, as well as the uninitiated, the benighted or just plain folks looking for a good time. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
