Rob Stone & the C-Notes play enthusiastic jump music and jazz-oriented blues.
Stone is an excellent harmonica player and singer. His vocals are easy to understand and quite personable, the lyrics are intelligent, and his harmonica playing is powerful.
Stone also wisely features his sidemen generously, so there are many guitar, piano, and tenor solos throughout this set, and not just on the instrumentals. This is a rare blues project in that it succeeds as both party music and for close listening. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
