Back in November, Listen Up Denver! was lucky enough to get The New Orleans Suspects to agree to play an exclusive set at Quixote’s True Blue for our video series “Listen Up Denver! Live.” The all-star line-up cranked a couple of stellar tunes and we are going to present one to you today, and one tomorrow, as the band returns to our state for a week-long run of five shows. Featuring members of The Radiators, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Neville Brothers, James Brown’s Band, and Denver’s own Polytoxic, these five musicians create music that is firmly rooted in the modern New Orleans sound with compelling originals and tasteful covers. The rhythm section of Reggie Scanlan and Willie Green are as comfortable together as red beans and rice. C.R. Gruver tickles the ivories or soars into the stratosphere on the organ. Jeff Watkins provides stellar saxophone fills and solos with great aplomb. Jake Eckert’s rhythm guitar work neatly complements his razor sharp solos. Though the band can clearly jam, with Eckert and Gruver trading off on lead vocals they are no simple jam band. See for yourself . . .
