Since 1991, Jimmy Jazz (vocals, guitar, drums) and Elmore Jazz (harmonica) - natives of Quimper, France - have continued to pass on their passion for the Devil's music. Inspired by the Swamp Blues of Louisiana and the Chicago Blues of the 50's, they have forged a personal style from which oozes the influence of the stammering electricity of the "roots blues" like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

The two brothers have been at the forefront of the scene since the 90's and have imposed their vibrant blues with rock 'n' roll at the biggest European festivals, and depending on the encounters this fraternal duo can be expanded with a third instrumentalist. Drums played with the feet to hammer the tempo, two incisive guitars and an amplified harmonica, this is enough to awaken the spirits of the pioneers of electric blues from the Windy City and the Louisiana bayou.
