n these times of overpowering 4-to-the-floor anthems, Chicken Jazz & Gumbo stand for a return to raspy guitars and the simple beauty of the pentatonic. Slightly late (about 50 years), they rummage unapologetically through the mothballs of their favorite music and play everything they can get their hands on, from Lightnin' Hopkins to Leonard Cohen.
Together with Cold Jay Turner (Kiel) on keys, they also perform their own folky and soulful compositions. Get your Juju workin' and c'mon 'round!
