Midnight Blue - Inner City Blues (2002)

Midnight Blue combines urban blues, organ trio jazz, and R&B. Artie and Selena are the soul-drenched singers up front, spicing their tight harmony with salty innuendo, and the band is a who’s who of great R&B sidemen. “Curtis Pope’s trumpet just rips the air at times and the impact of the drums puts you in the front row...great music startlingly well recorded,” says AudioEnz.

Midnight Blue combines urban blues, organ trio jazz, and R&B. Artie and Selena are the soul-drenched singers up front, spicing their tight harmony with salty innuendo. The band is a who’s who of great R&B sidemen, featuring Wilson Pickett’s trumpeter and organist, “Groove” Holmes’ guitarist, and James Brown’s drummer. Their locked-tight groove reflects 15 years of touring together. Tunes include “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Goin’ To Chicago,” and the title track.
