about

Em meados dos anos 90 o blues paulistano estava no auge, com o Festival Nescafé & Blues atraindo os holofotes da mídia para a cena efervescente. Um dos melhores grupos era o Calibre 12, não por acaso escalado para o Nescafé. Dele saiu o guitarrista João Borges, que fundou recentemente a Zona Blues com Mauricio Pedrosa (teclados), Ed Blues (voz e guitarra base), Marco Augusto (baixo) e Victor Busquets (bateria). O primeiro registro do grupo mostra o talento dos veteranos. Nem parece ter sido gravado ao vivo (nos estúdios da rádio Kiss FM), num só take, sem edições ou overdubs. Ouvindo os bends, vibratos e timbres de João, é difícil acreditar que não seja um negão americano. Mauricio, por sua vez, deixa claro porque foi tecladista de Nuno Mindelis e do Tutti-Frutti de Rita Lee. O mais novato Ed fica à altura dos colegas, com sua voz negróide e cheia de swing.
