“I
THOUGHT I HEARD ELLIOTT BAY”
by RAYMOND BARROW
Northwest
blues scholar Raymond Barrow has spent most of the waking
hours of his adult life researching the details behind pre-rock
& roll northwest blues legends, “Joe & Okes”. These visionaries,
along with their contemporaries, cultivated a unique music
style, climaxing in a frenzy known as “Jokermania".
“I Thought I Heard Elliott Bay” is the presentation of Raymond
Barrow’s story and the musical works mentioned.

The Phantoms of Soul is a group specializing
in forgotten blues songs from the 1920s thru the 1960s.
Sources of material range from singers of the deep south to
the great northwest corner. The leader is guitarist/singer/jazzhornist/songwriter
Jack Cook, who has been performing traditional blues in the
Seattle area for over 50 years. Jack was inducted into the
Washington Blues Society Hall of Fame in 2006 and won Best
Acoustic for 2007. In 2007 the Phantoms of Soul won Best Traditional
Act as well. Other Phantoms include Billy Reed on piano, Walter White on bass and Marty Vadalabene on drums.

“THREE BLAZING GUITARS”
Brian Butler, Jack Cook & Chris Stevens
"Excitement happens when three veteran guitarists get together to play the blues!
Each has their own style; put 'em together and the sparks start to fly!
They create a textured and driving guitar front, with delicious sounds to tantalize anyone
who has ever dug Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, B. B. King or any guitar cranked up and coming out of amplifier just feet away.
Taking turns with vocal duties, Butler, Cook and Stevens range through a wide repertoire of the blues.
Smooth uptown blues follow funky, raw dance numbers, Chicago shuffles evoke Jimmy Reed, hokum sounds even surface when least expected."
