Curtis Knight & Jan Akkerman

front view booklet with Jan and Curtis at CD presentation concert in  De Meerpaal, Dronten (December 1997)

This CD came together accidentally on purpose. It was my good fortune to have known some of the musicians prior to the formulation of the idea to record this CD.Keith Dunn, (harmonica) is someone that I knew and I was very aware of his talent. Dino Walcott, (Bass) have played many gigd together, so I knew he would be the best Bass player I could find for this project. In fact it was Dino who introduced me to Jan Akkerman. I had the privilege of playing with Jan at a Blues Festival, so I was aware of his great international reputation, and I had some first hand experience playing with him. I was very happy when he consented to produce and play on this CD. Larry Wil'Rice(Drums) and I have played gigs together so he was my obvious choice as drummer. He gives this CD a definitive prospective, with all of his international experience. Sam Mitchell(slide guitar and Dobro) is internationally famous, and highly respected in hbis field. I met him by chance at a Blues festival and invited him to be a part of this project. The result speaks for itself.
Curtis Knight.
