Long deleted album for the jumpers and movvers out there or just for those who enjoy listening to good old fashioned soul and dance music delivered by this veteran USA artist who,s been living in the uk now for many years. Geno originates from Evansville in Indiana. Not to be confused with Gino Washington the Detroit Legend... He first came to England in the 1960’s as part of the US Air Force. His love of Blues and Soul music soon found him jamming with local bands in and around Ipswich and eventually led him to London where he caused a sensation singing with top R&B acts Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames and Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band at the legendary Flamingo Club in Soho, along with the wheel manchester one of the first UK venues to host All-Nighters. The rest, as they say is history, a legend with Mods & Northern fans alike. Geno teamed up with some of London’s hottest musicians and Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band very quickly became established as the most exciting live band in Britain, regularly topping the bill over World famous artistes, as nobody in their right mind wanted to go on stage after a Geno show! Throughout the years Geno and his band have continued to tour extensively all over the World and have released several highly acclaimed albums and singles.He did return to the States in the mid 1970,s and becam a qualified Hypnotist, but came back again to the uk in the 1980,s where he still remains. Geno’s life long love of Blues and R&B has led to yet another chapter in his illustrious career with the formation of “Geno and the Yo Yo’s” which features the longstanding rhythm section of the Ram Jam Band (Geoff Hemsley on drums, Steve Bingham on bass and Greg Lester on guitar) which is a hard- hitting, fast-moving show of R&B / Blues / Soul classics that has audiences on their feet from start to finish and is receiving rave reviews wherever they play.Whether it’s Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band or Geno Washington and the Yo Yo’s you can be sure of one thing and that is a barnstorming live show that never lets up in intensity or excitement and delivers the goods every time!!2 studio albums recorded and ive seen him about 7 or 8 times now always value for money and one of the best live shows you can ever see! and he still performs at 80 years of age...CD1 is Live CD2 In the Studio. Apologies for poor images my damn scanner is playing up again.
