Reseña del editor New Orleans Suspects began playing together in 2009 as a pick-up band at the Maple Leaf in New Orleans. Comprised of some of the most seasoned, highly respected players in NOLA, the group called themselves The Unusual Suspects. Their chemistry was undeniable and by the summer of 2011 they decided to tour full-time, renaming the band New Orleans Suspects. They quickly began attracting large crowds from San Francisco to New York. In three short years they released two CDs and established themselves as one of New Orleans best supergroups.'Mean' Willie Green was the drummer for the Neville Brothers for over thirty years. His unparalleled style has helped shape New Orleans funk, and his drumming has graced recorded tracks by dozens of artists, including The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell.Reggie Scanlan's career has been defined by his thirty-three years playing bass in The Radiators - the longest running rock act in the history of New Orleans - but his résumé is far deeper; Scanlan spent much of the 1970 s in the bands of legends James Booker, Professor Longhair, and Earl King.Jake Eckert was the longtime lead guitarist in the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Traveling the world, he has performed everywhere from Palace Square in Russia to the 2009 Grammy Awards ceremony. He has other talents as well, receiving a Grammy Award in 2011 for recording engineer and producing albums for John Mooney, Cedric Burnside, and New Orleans Suspects, among others. CR Gruver is a classically trained pianist who immersed himself in New Orleans piano styles after touring with national bands such as Outformation and singer/songwriter Angie Aparo. Adept at James Booker-style piano and the swelling B-3 stylings of Art Neville, Gruver has also become a well-regarded sideman for Leo Nocentelli of The Meters. Jeff Watkins is an accomplished sax player, engineer and producer. He spent twelve years leading the James Brown Band, including Brown's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He also worked for six years with Joss Stone as her producer, engineer, and bandleader. The two albums New Orleans Suspects have released since 2011 include their eponymous debut studio album and a live recording, Caught Live at the Maple Leaf, which made it into the iTunes® highly competitive 'New and Noteworthy' page. Their upcoming release, Ouroboros, is an all-original studio album that characterizes the band's sound and places them in a class of their own. Putting a contemporary twist on the funk, rock, and R&B traditions of New Orleans music, this album is like taking a wild ride through they city's musical history in a brand new vehicle. Ouroboros will be released on Louisiana Red Hot Records and distributed by E-1 in October of 2014 and will give the band their first shot at a national marketing campaign - including a radio push for their first single 'Soothe Me,' written by Mr. Eckert. As always, the band will continue to keep the hot in support of the new release. Críticas 'Want to hear a Supergroup? Catch the Suspects...' --JambandNew Orleans has given us some of the most joyful music on the planet, from zydeco to funk, from dixieland to jazz. Arguably, it probably has more musicians in residence than any other city in the USA. Five of these veteran musicians have now come together in the New Orleans Suspects: Mean Willie Green, celebrated drummer for the Neville Brothers; bassist Reggie Scanlan of the Radiators; Dirty Dozen Brass Band guitarist Jake Eckert; keyboardist CR Gruver, who's played with Outformation, Leo Nocentelli, and Angie Aparo; and sax man Jeff Watkins, who led James Brown's band for 12 years before becoming Joss Stone's band leader for the next six. To call the New Orleans Suspects a supergroup is an understatement, and their second studio album Ouroboros is a masterpiece of New Orleans funk/rock. Channeling the vibe right off the bat, the band sets the tone with the lead-off track Get Back What You Given, when they sing Hey na na, fee na ney, think I'm gonna take a holiday... That kind of joy pervades this album, with second-line rhythms providing plenty of excitement for the feet, and great counterpoint and harmonic interplay between the horns, guitar and keyboards that'll make your ears happy. I've seen the Suspects twice at festivals, and I can vouch for their thrilling live performance. I highly recommend that you see these guys ... they will make you dance, smile, laugh and dance some more. While you're there, pick up Ouroboros and take home the fun. You ll be so glad, you'll Iko Iko all day! --The Corner NewsThough Ouroboros (Louisiana Red Hot Records) is the third album from the New Orleans Suspects, CR Gruver, who's on keyboards, electric kazoo, drums and vocals, says it's really more like the band's first.'It's our first all-original studio (album), so we're kind of putting it out there, making a statement as to who we are as a band and who we are, musically,' he says. 'There were a lot of misconceptions about who we were in the beginning, people thought we were just a supergroup, just a collection of people from other bands. We felt like we were more than that, more of an actual band.'Jake Eckert and Jeff Watkins both helped write and produce the album, out Oct. 14. Eckert, who's on strings, drums and vocals, says the album attempts to walk listeners through various styles of New Orleans music, track by track. 'From New Orleans funk aspects, to another tune that may have some Mardi Gras Indian tune on it, to another that may have some Southern rock, swamp rock kind of vibe to an Earl King kind of vibe,' he says. 'That was part of the idea we had in our minds.'"Magdalena" blends several styles, beginning as a funky track with a snaky melody, ultimately ending in what you'd expect to hear coming from the corner of a smoky New Orleans bar. Watkins, who plays saxophone and a handful of other instruments and also sings on the album, is partial to the jazz funeral number, aptly titled 'In Your Mind', which carefully balances structure with improvisation, complete with all the fanfare of a hot New Orleans day but with nods to the influence of New Orleans musicians of days gone by, namely James Booker and King. --Gambit Weekly
