Personalities | Roomful Of Blues | Eighties | Jazz & Blues
(Vocal/instrumental group, 1967–present)
The nine-piece, horn-based outfit from Westerly, Rhode Island was formed by guitarist Duke Robillard and pianist Al Copley and has been a swinging institution in the Northeast since 1967. The band concentrates on jump blues, boogie-woogie and slow blues numbers. Roomful’s self-titled debut on Island Records in 1979 began a rich recorded legacy, which has included Grammy-nominated collaborations with blues greats Big Joe Turner, Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson and Earl King. Roomful released its eighteenth album, Standing Room Only (Alligator), in 2005.
