Guitar master Thomas is best known as a founding member of the gutsy
blues-rock foursome Smokehouse - the
genre of Florida swamp blues, a killer
variation of Louisiana
blues. Robert’s sound is influenced by many of his heroes including Lightnin’
Slim, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and Lazy Lester.
“… an eclectic gumbo
of Delta hooks, Louisiana
merriment, and top-notch musicianship.” –
Living Blues
The comparison is inevitable. On a passionate mission to nurture the musical
legacy left by Puente Sr., Latin jazz Mambo king Tito Puente Jr. carries his
father with him – imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It’s
in his looks, his joy, and his music.
“My father is a
great inspiration for why I perform. It’s a wonderful feeling and people
remember this. He is the only and true influence for why I do what I do.”– Tito Puente, Jr.

Linda Witsell continues her traditions of communing and jamming on straight-ahead
jazz and contemporary styles. Linda is something of an inconspicuous insurgent
in the regional jazz kingdom. Her adeptness on flute is sweet and particularly
outspoken. She’s got big, healthy, highly individual ideas on flute, and about
how to push jazz beyond its own boundaries.
