  • Self-Titled is a tour-de-force
    author: Dave Ruthenberg

    The Jeff Jensen Band has only been around since 2004, but with this literally Self-Titled debut, they seem to suggest that they’ll be sticking around for a while. The band, fueled by Jeff Jensen’s smooth, downhome vocals and slick Telecaster fretwork, delivers a solid set of 13 tracks, including ten originals that run the gamut of blues styles, accented by appropriate measures of rock, country jazz and soul. While Jensen is clearly the frontman and focus. Jameson Trotter’s piano stylings punctuate songs like I Fell ad really set the tone for the slow-blues of Damn Fine Woman, enhancing the band’s warm tone throughout. Throughout Self-Titled, Jensen delivers fluid leads and solos that meld into the rhythms and soars with melodic intent. The band demonstrates a solid understanding of the blues and whether it’s on the rollicking opening cut, Mel London’s Sugar Sweet, or the Allman Brother’s-influenced Feel Alright, or even the jazzy Can’t We’re Through, blues is always at the heart of the band’s sound. The only clinker in the set is Cat Song. Self-Titled is a tour-de-force debut release by a band hat breathes new life into the blues scene. The themes may be tried and true, but they are delivered with a fresh dose of enthusiasm form one tight band.

    author: Jim Santella (Southland Blues)

    THE JEFF JENSEN BAND Self Titled Self-produced Based in Santa Clarita, the Jeff Jensen Band features blues the way it’s supposed to be: firm in the grasp of tradition while offering a fresh voice that can be enjoyed by any audience. Lead singer Jensen interprets original songs with authority and dishes out several covers convincingly. His band revels in this blues arena with trademark walking bass, rhythmic back beat, fiery guitar licks, piano and organ romps, and the kind of vocals that stick you in the heart. It’s meat and potatoes time, and Jensen makes sure that we get a belly full. Juke Logan guests on “Sugar Sweet” with a poignant harp presence that injects an energetic shot that comes on like adrenaline. George Pandis guests on flugelhorn for “Something About You,” driving with the band on a swinging number that turns a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll. Michael Fell lends his harmonica to “Rock This House,” providing a guest shot that sizzles with a “rock around the clock” jive sensation. Michael Jensen provides a guest shotgun blast to end “Here I Come Again,” reminding us of all the great stories that blues is meant to tell. Jensen’s lead vocals and fiery guitar licks are supported for the most part by partner Nate LaPointe (vocals and guitar), Bill Ruffino (bass), Chuck Gullens (drums) and Jamieson Trotter (piano and organ). This first album is a sure-fire winner, and quite naturally beckons the start of a long and rewarding career that’s steeped in tradition while offering this southern California sound to a wider audience.
