East Blues Experience: East Blues Experience was founded in Berlin in early 1991 by singer, guitarist and songwriter Peter Schmidt, previously with Handarbeit. The band's founding line-up included bassist Rene Mosgraber and drummer Jürgen Schötz, who had previously played with Big Joe Stolle and Alexander Blume at Zenit and in the Intercity Blues Band. Shortly after the founding, Ronny Dehn switched to the drums and Jäcki Reznicek took over the bass. Reznicek used to play in Veronika Fischer's backing band, with Pankow and with Silly. In the same year their debut album "East Blues Experience" was released on Mara Records and they accompanied Luther Allison and Louisiana Red on a tour around Germany.
In 1993 East Blues Experience signed Carey Bell as a guest on their Good Understanding Tour, and the studio album "Good Understanding" with him was recorded in Prague. Further appearances with well-known bands, such as Uriah Heep and Golden Earring, followed and their appearances in 1994 at the Djurs Bluesland Festival in Randers, 1997 at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt (Main) and 1998 at the 15th Dresden Blues Festival made the band known nationally and internationally. In the beginning of 2000, East Blues Eexperience had brought a second guitarist into the band in the form of Axel Merseburger and the sound became increasingly rocky. Reznicek had since left the band and was replaced by Rainer Engelmann. In 2004 the band went on another successful tour through Germany and separated in spring 2005.
Carey Bell: His place on the honor roll of Chicago blues harpists long ago assured, Carey Bell truly came into his own in the '90s as a bandleader with terrific discs for Alligator and Blind Pig. He learned his distinctive harmonica riffs from the Windy City's very best (both Walters - Little and Big - as well as Sonny Boy Williamson II), adding his own signature effects for good measure (an otherworldly moan immediately identifies many of his more memorable harp rides). Born Carey Bell Harrington in the blues-fertile state of Mississippi, he was already playing the harp when he was eight and working professionally with his godfather, pianist Lovie Lee, at 13. The older and more experienced Lee brought Carey with him to Chicago in search of steady musical opportunities in 1956. Gigs frequently proved scarce, and Carey eventually took up electric bass, playing behind Robert Nighthawk, Johnny Young, and his mentor Big Walter Horton.
Finally, in 1969, Bell made his debut album (on harp) for Delmark, and he was on his way. Bell served invaluable early-'70s stints in the bands of Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon, touring extensively and recording with both legends. Alligator Records has been responsible for much of Bell's best recorded work as a leader, beginning with a joint venture with Horton back in 1972. Four cuts by Bell on the first batch of Alligator's Living Chicago Blues anthologies in 1978 preceded his participation in the 1990 harmonica summit meeting Harp Attack!, which brought him into the studio with fellow greats James Cotton, Junior Wells, and Billy Branch. His solo set for Alligator, Deep Down, rates as his finest album. Bell has sired a passel of blues-playing progeny; best-known of the brood is mercurial guitarist Lurrie Bell. /Biography by Bill Dahl, AllMusic
