The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise sets sail twice a year with the presentation of an all-star lineup of today’s best blues artists. A floating blues festival in its own right, the Blues Cruise is the world’s only seven-day, fully chartered cruise that travels the high seas. Launching annually from both sides of the U.S, the luxury Blues Cruise departs from San Diego, CA and travels to the Mexican Riviera; it also departs from Fort Lauderdale, FL and travels to the Caribbean Islands. The cruises always feature about two dozen of the best blues artists ever brought together for one of the most amazing blues experiences on the planet……

The J. Geils Band was one of the most popular touring rock & roll bands in America during the '70s. Where their contemporaries were influenced by the heavy boogie of British blues-rock and the ear-splitting sonic adventures of psychedelia, The J. Geils Band was a bar band pure and simple, churning out greasy covers of obscure R&B, doo wop, and soul tunes, cutting them with a healthy dose of Stonesy swagger. While their muscular sound and the hyper jive of frontman Peter Wolf packed arenas across America, it only rarely earned them hit singles. Seth Justman, the group's main songwriter, could turn out catchy R&B-based rockers like "Give It to Me" and "Must of Got Lost," but these hits never led to stardom, primarily because the group had trouble capturing the energy of its live sound in the studio.

Essential: a masterpiece of rock music.
History has not been as kind as it might, and arguably should, have been to Blood Sweat and Tears. In their day, they made some of the most exciting progressively influenced jazz rock ever.

Reissue. Features the latest remastering. Includes a Japanese description, lyrics, and bonus track. Features original cover artwork. One of the best (and few) sessions ever cut as a leader by bassist Milt Hinton – a crucially important player on his instrument, and an important force behind countless sessions of his generation! The album's a nicely laidback one – the kind that lets you get to hear Milt's bass work up front in the mix, a good thing, since it could often be buried in larger arrangements on other albums that he's appeared on. The group's a quartet – with Milt on bass, AJ Sciacca (Tony Scott) on clarinet, Dick Katz on piano, and Osie Johnson on drums – and titles include "Pick N Pat", "Katz's Meow", "Upstairs With Milt", "Mean To Me", "Ebony Silhouette", and "Cantus Firmus". Also features a bonus track – "Milt To The Hilt (alt)".
