Details:
Roseleaf Recordâs sophomore release, JIMI BOTT âBott & Paid For!â Featuring Jimi ( Drummer for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers etc...) and Portland's Finest, is a modern day Super Session.

Recorded all on one rainy night in Portland (imagine that), this CD represents just a small portion of this huge well of talent and hopefully is just the beginning of what will become a series that will bring âBlues From The Great NWâ to the rest of the world.

Blues enthusiasts will be sure to recognize the great PAUL DELAY master of the harmonica and vocalist extraordinare. While displaying the best of tradition and finesse Paul is one of the few Harpistâs who have also truly created his own cutting edge phrasing, sound, style and flavor that has yet seen rivalry.

DAVE âLong Distanceâ KAHL also an Oregonian, has been nominated for blues bassist of the year by the Cascade Blues association at least five times. A staple in the Paul Delay Band for 3 years he is never sick at sea and by far one of everyoneâs favorite bassists to play with in town.
He actually listens to blues for enjoyment!

Originally hailing from Eugene OR Aaron âACâ PORTER , has been an integral part of the Portland blues scene for 24 years. His influences are clearly BB and the likes of Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl & Hollywood Fats. Though many guitaristâs aspire to these great players and the high standards they set, few come as close as Porter to obtaining the intensity they project.

Long time CA transplant SUBURBAN SLIM has been in Oregon since 1981. During this time he has astonished crowds with his unbelievably soulful voice while baffling other guitarists with his crushing, mellifluous and seemingly endless ideas on his instrument. Phil Wagner aka Suburban Slim is a true modern day guitar slinger/songwriter with soul!

Unbelievably MARCO SAVO has never been showcased on any recordings until now. Originally from Pacific Grove Ca. Marcoâs self taught Guitar approach stems from a world of stone cold jazz and the purest of blues. Swinging with an innate sense of rhythm, time and taste he is fueled by influences such as Jr. Watson, Chris Cain, Tiny Grimes & Cannonball Adderlay. Truly a master of his six string instrument and equally talented on four, here he works double duty taking on the bass chair for The Suburban Slim Band.

Also on the harp and vocals is JIM WALLACE. Originally from Newport Ca. he is heavily steeped in Chicagoâs electric blues of the 50âs and 60âs. All would agree that Wallace is Portlandâs finest embodiment of the great Little Walter, George âHarmonicaâ Smith & Walter Horton to name a few. Also featured here are his skills as a seasoned songwriter.
