I play as a soloist and with my Duo and Trio. We started as The Ezra Blue Trio and after the unexpected death of Bob Bryant, my dear friend and co founder I started doing Solo gigs since it would be almost impossible to replace Bobs musical sense and ability. I have now found other musicians and started playing Blues and other genres to get more gigs. I prefer Jazz because thats where my heart is. My website is WWW.EZRABLUE.COM and there are a few mp3 tunes of our work. I play Jazz guitar and utilize alto sax and vocalists (male and female)
Why this name?
I had a blues group I named BLUE EZRA in El Paso Texas a few years back and when I came to the Dallas Ft. Worth area and started The EZRA BLUE TRIO since my days of 5 musicians playing LOUD hurt my ears I decided to go no more than 3 for my groups and sometimes a Quartet..
Do you play live?
I love playing live and the feedback with the audience. I play mostly upper end restaurants where I dont have to play loud (ears again)and the musical tastes are finer.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I like it personally but I realize it hurts recording artists but life goes on and on and on... right ??
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I suppose I would if I had total control of musical input and they wouldn't want me to were pink shirts and leather pants and speak with a lisp... ha!
Band History:
I've been keeping the band name alive for 12 years now
Your influences?
JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ and did I mention JAZZ ?????... also Blues (modern) I also play country (from my 10 years as a country chicken picker in El Paso Texas)
Favorite spot?
Any nice restaurant with a large crowd to play to, the rest will follow
Equipment used:
About the only constant is my Start that I built myself and even then I am always switching pickups on it, my favorites are Alembic active strat pickups because they have a darker tone which I need for Jazz but can still get bright for country and other genres of music. At present I am using Carvin 7 way strat pickups. They are just fine right now but I know I'll get bored and will switch again. My favorite amp is a Line6 AX2 I cut in half, you know cut the head from the speaker cab so it wont be so @#$% heavy ! also like the Vetta
Anything else...?
I need a foxy female singer !... dont we all. I have come to the conclusion that after going through 2 foxy singers and being divorced from them that I wont have another. Its a shame because I wrote a tune for one I had met about 6 years ago but she was hung up on some jerk and didnt want this jerk.
