Albuquerque Blues Conection

“Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues!” – That’s the farewell tag on
“Mexican Jerry” Muniz’s voice mail.
Mexican Jerry is the bearded and tattooed leader
and singer/harp player
for the Albuquerque Blues Connection – “The ABC” –
one of New Mexico’s longest running blues outfits.
A fierce disciple of John Lee Hooker,
Jerry’s band boogies hard and
has been packing dance floors
and festival lawns for almost two decades.
With Dave Silva, his guitar and
slide playing compadre of 15 years at his side,
Jerry calls the crowd out –
“Get Up!
Levantase! Time to Boogie!” – and they respond with a roar.
Drummer Mark McKenna has been on board for 8 years,
and bassist Steve Whitman has pounded the bottom lines
for 6, so the band runs
almost telepathically, able to punch it up or
drop it down as the mood strikes.
Even the “newcomer” in the band, Joe Mancuso on harmonica,
has been friends and jamming with the group for years.
For Mexican Jerry, a song is a framework to be
filled in anew every night,
never sung the same way twice.
But it’s always the Blues. Nuthin’ but the Blues.
