NW-based supergroup Lisa Mann’s Northwestern All-Stars is releasing a LIVE album, ‘The Great Women in Blues (Feat. Terrie Odabi)’, from a live performance at Atlantis Club in Basel, Switzerland for Groove Now Blues Weeks
The album features 11 songs from the original Great Women in Blues Etta James, Dinah Washington, Mavis Staples, Rosetta Tharpe, Ruth Brown, Big Mama Thornton, Big Maybelle and Koko Taylor.
Since 2010, Patrick Kaiser has hand-selected premier Blues artists to perform at the world renowned Groove Now concert series, held in Basel, Switzerland. He invited two-time Blues Music Award (BMA) winning bassist/ vocalist Lisa Mann and legendary BMA winning drummer Jimi Bott to put together a Pacific Northwest supergroup to perform in the 2023 series. Two brilliant guitarists with distinct musical voices, Ben Rice and Jason “JT” Thomas, were added to the mix, as well as Portland’s own “Boss of the B3”, organist Louis “King Louie” Pain. With the stellar team assembled, Lisa Mann’s Northwestern All-Stars was born.
Patrick asked for a tribute to the great women of Blues music to be among the three nights of shows booked at historic music hall Atlantis Basel. Hence, another voice would need to be added- a voice that represented the depth and history of the art form. When Lisa shared videos of Oakland-based Terrie Odabi, he fell in love with her authentic, unforgettable voice. With the multiple BMA-nominated, internationally acclaimed Odabi on board, the magic formula was complete.
The resulting live album presented here was painstakingly mixed by drummer Jimi Bott at his studio, Roseleaf Recording. He expertly navigated the perils of a live environment, while retaining the raw energy of these spectacular performances.
