Bluestage Vol.15: Raphael Wressnig feat. Gisele Jackson & Alex Schultz - Day 3

Raphael Wressnig is among the absolute elite of Hammond organists. Few can play the powerful sound of the B-3 with such groove, energy, and richness of nuance. His style is virtuosic, earthy, and deeply rooted in soul, blues, and jazz. Alex Schultz's discography includes over 50 albums. The US guitarist has played with blues harmonica icons William Clarke and Rod Piazza and has worked with blues legends such as Jimmy Rogers, Lowell Fulson, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, Earl King, Snooks Eaglin, and Albert Collins. The list of musicians he has shared the stage with reads like a "Who's Who" of the blues scene: B.B. King, Albert King, Allman Bros., Al Green, Neville Bros., Robert Cray, and many more. Gisele Jackson began her career in the background choir of Ray Charles and in the bands of Donna Summer and James Brown. The singer from Baltimore captivates her audience with ease. Together with Raphael Wressnig, she represents the intersection of soul, blues, and funk rhythms. When Raphael Wressnig, Gisele Jackson, and Alex Schultz take the stage, blues, rhythm & blues, soul, and funk merge into a sound that embodies the roots of African American music: raw, honest, and with an unwavering energy that is infectious.
