"Lynwood Slim is a master of both harmonica and vocals, and he knows how to choose - or write - a song to suit the mood." - Blue Suede News

"Brazilian Blues, I did not know that, but turns out that blues guitarist Igor Prado is a big name in the blues world down South American way!" - Blues Matters

"Fine music - fine blues - is indeed where Lynwood Slim is at, and this certainly bodes well for the future of the blues." - Rhythms Magazine

"West Coast Blues is alive and well and living in Brazil! Doubters need only spin Igor Prado Band!" - Blues Revue Magazine

Two continents collide as California native Lynwood Slim teams up with the premier jump blues outfit from Brazil, the Igor Prado Band, for a surprisingly tasteful and swingin' set of music featuring the smoldering guitar acrobatics of left-handed, upside-down guitarist Igor Prado.  The result is a tantalizing cocktail blend of American roots music hand-shaken and served straight up that's guaranteed to go down smooth!

LYNWOOD SLIM: Armed with an impressive catalog of iconic recordings, Slim's own uniquely cool blues meets jazz approach has landed him international acclaim and endeared him to an audience around the globe with a devout affection for California Blues.  His mastery of blues harmonica - both the "little harp" and the more difficult chromatic - is second to none.  He is also one of the finest blues vocalists of his generation.  His first hand experience and apprenticeship under veteran blues masters such as multi-instrumentalist Leonard "Baby Doo" Caston and harmonica giant Big Walter Horton has served him well as he has mastered the subtleties of tone and phrasing, and developed his own distinctive voice in the blues.

IGOR PRADO BAND: The Igor Prado Band has been quietly but steadily gaining their reputation as the foremost authority and leading practitioners of 1940-50s style Chicago/Jump Blues.  Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the band (all of whom are still in their twenties) is comprised of two brothers; Igor Prado on guitar and Yuri Prado on drums, bassist Rodrigo Mantovani and saxophonist Denilson Martins.  The Igor Prado Band has become an increasingly popular and in demand unit for supporting many of today's blues elite while touring South America.  They have backed such highly esteemed artists as Eddie C. Campbell, Steve Guyger, James Wheeler, Phil Guy, Mud Morganfield (eldest son of Muddy Waters), R.J. Mischo, Gary Smith, Mark Hummel, Mitch Kashmar and Rick Estrin.
