Born In
Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States
I. Musician, producer / remixer Jay Denes (better known as Blue Six), was born in Newark, NJ. After moving to N.Y.C., the newcomer failed to get seriously involved in the local music scene until hip-hop producer Bob Power hooked him up with Dave Boonshoff. Jay Denes began working on his own freestyle project soon after naming himself Blue Six. Released by Naked Music, his debut full-length record called Beautiful Tomorrow delivered a mix of electronic music, soulful pop, and smooth jazz, featuring contributions from multi-instrumentalist Marc Anthony Jones.
II. BLUESIX
Six fine blues men make up Bluesix. Their blend of precise and rockin' blues comes via guitar, bass, drums harmonica and sax. This set rides hard out of the gate with the title song "Ready" and a guitar that could cut steel. Some familiar material gets an airing, with original songs making appearances too. It all blends nicely as the Bluesix players are always working in a synced-up fashion with the others and producing well arranged tunes. Recording is good and the sound is tough, with the pedal to the metal most of the time. The Netherlands is a great place for the blues and Bluesix is right in there contending for one of the top spots. Good songs and super solid blues rock!
