It also uses Roomful of Blues alumni horn players Doug James and Carl Querfurth. Al's been nominated for a Blues Music Award four times in the last five years, and his discs routinely place in the top 15 on the Living Blues charts. Often referred to as the Bard of the Blues, Al writes some of the best songs in the genre; his singing and cornet playing stand out with world class backup and production from Duke and his band.
