ALVIN JETT & THE PHAT NOIZ BLUES BAND :: BIO

The Phat noiZ is Jett’s means for delivering his fiery brand of in-your-face, hard driving blues music. The band’s original material reveals roots in rock, funk, R&B, soul, and at times, hints of gospel and rockabilly. The band has worked hard to craft a signature sound that transforms easily from high-energy rock to soulful blues ballads.

REVIEWS

WHO IS TALKING ABOUT PhatnoiZ?

"The Phat noiZ Blues Band hail from St. Louis, but their blues represents the crossroads of St. Louis more than strictly the St. Louis blues—although it begins in the Missouri-Mississippi basin. Track 1, “Boogie to the Blues,” with its St. Louis horn soul (and some touches of neo-swing) finds Jett’s voice taking you right in. It reminds me of a New Year’s Eve I spent at a blues club in St. Louis’ Soulard neighborhood, soaking in the grime, joy, and passion of the region’s blues style."

"Alvin is the next generation of blues here. He's educated by people like Tommy Bankhead, and respectful of Bennie Smith, and taking it to a different place. Alvin Jett is an ideal continuation of the legacy of the St. Louis blues guitar tradition. "
-- John May, President - St. Louis Blues Society

"...Wet My Beak is an impressive mix of modern Blues and R&B, with a healthy dose of funk mixed in." -- Graham Clarke of bluenight.com

" This album represents to me, the current state of Saint Louis blues. That is where Alvin and band reside and they seem to imbue this recording with a deep sense of place. Alvin's baritone voice, abstractly reminds me of Big Joe Turner and leans heavily on, Soul influenced Jazz with doses of Gospel." -- SierraBluesSociety.org

"If you ask me, this is a good representation of the blues aching for some more hip hop and phunk. I really like it and listen to it quite often. It represents East Saint Louis and the Saint Louis Blues scene very well." -- Dave "Mad Dog" Madlener of mnblues.com

"Wow! - Ever walked onto a joint and got your a** kicked by some band you never heard of? Well, ever since these guys came down from St. Louis, MO and participated in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge this band has made giant strides. Funk you up now! This is high energy stuff, with Alvin Jett kickin' great guitar licks and this band, including brass backers, kicking it up to the max. If you got to dance, what won't you do in the way of moves here? From the very first lick to the very last, the Phat noiz is just that-PHAT!
Sometimes ya gotta bump & grind. Here is the music to do that thing to." -- Gary W. Miller of bluessource.com

"Milk And Cookies is a groovalicious brand of blues fueled by jazz, funk, and soul... Alvin’s guitar style has a deep-seated passionate vibe… Catch them live or do the next best thing and getcha a big plate of Milk And Cookies!" - Sheryl and Don Crow, Music City (Nashville) Blues Society Newsletter

"Alvin Jett & the Phat noiZ Blues Band are on the money… Delivering a set of amped up urban blues fresh from the Delta migration. Milk And Cookies is no exercise in nostalgia, but a heady mix that classic blues fans will love." - Chris Sector, Midwest Record Recap
