Jim Cofey (BELGIUM)
Black Box Allegations
(Funk/Soul/Roots)

CD PRICE: £10.99

Jan Ieven (El Fish, Rhythm Junks) started Jim Cofey in June 2006. The band’s music is inspired by the New Orleans Funk of the sixties and seventies. Dr. John, The Meters, Eddy Bo, Jon Cleary, Allen Toussaint & Jimmy McGriff all appeal to the bands imagination. Jan Ieven, Steve Wauters (Last Call, Big Dave) and Patrick Cuyvers (Hideaway, Soul Spirit) first worked together during sessions with Lurrie Bell in 2005. They hit it off so well that they have been playing together ever since. Dynamite Steve is a member of Last Call, in which he is renowned for his “second-line” drum style, an essential ingredient in New Orleans music. Patrick Cuyvers has a velvety voice and a great aptitude for playing the organ; he could be the prodigal son of Jimmy Smith and Chris Rea. When Patrick joined the band, it was time for the real deal.
