With his 17th new release “Dan Moretti and The Hammond Boys ” he has entered the live spirit of the vibrant Soul-Jazz era of the 60’s. JAZZ NOTES by Ken Franckling “New England-based tenor player Dan Moretti thrives at the intersection of jazz, blues and soul.” Sugar Ray Norcia is a Grammy Nominate Harmonica player, lyricist, and singer. Sugar Ray Norcia has been leading his band, the Blue Tones, around New England since the late 1970s. The band began to break nationally in the late '80s and early '90s with the release of their debut for the Rounder/Varrick label, Knockout. While leading his own band and touring on a regional basis around the New England states, Norcia spent many years in apprenticeship as a sideman. This fact is evident on his recordings, as Norcia's singing is deep and heartfelt, and his harmonica playing is that of a seasoned blues club veteran. Ray and Dan put a sensational show on together and join the Soul-Jazz and Blues world as one.
