FULL TIME WORK
When Rockin' Jake received the Offbeat award for Best Harmonica Player for the fourth time in January of 2002, the New Orleans music community gave a hearty ovation to a player who has been accepted as a fixture on the Crescent City music scene. Jake's style, a combination of pre-WWII influences and urban blues delivered with the heft of a rock arrangement, is well supported here by an outstanding core band made up of producer Brian Stoltz of the funky Meters on guitar, the might John Gros of Papa Grows Funk on keyboards, Ron Johnson from Karl Denson's Tiny Universe on bass and drummer Doug Belote, who plays with Stoltz behind Monk Boudreaux's Golden Eagle. Ben Ellman of Galactic adds his incendiary tenor saxopone playing to "Only Love Can Conquer Hate." You can almost see the sparks flying on "Slippin' Away" when Theryl "Houseman" de"Clouet and Irene Sage team up for the first time in memorable duet. The album closes with Jake's trademark arrangement of "Amazing Grace," a perennial high point of his live performances. Full Time Work Recorded 2001 & 02 Released 2002 ZuluZu

5 P.M. BREAKFAST
The idea for the CD came to me almost at the last minute when I realized it was the perfect combination of factors: the band sounded great after being on the road for most of the year, New Year's was the perfect time and The Green Parrot Bar was the perfect place. This disc is a snap shot of some of what went down over the course of four wild and crazy nights. Enjoy! Rockin' Jake 5 p.m .Breakfast, Recorded 2003-04, Released Spring 2004, ZuluZu Records
