Jan Ieven (El Fish, Rhythm Junks) started Jim Cofey in June 2006. The band’s music is inspired by the New Orleans Funk of the sixties and seventies. Dr. John, The Meters, Eddy Bo, Jon Cleary, Allen Toussaint & Jimmy McGriff all appeal to the bands imagination. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Jan Ieven, Steve Wauters (Last Call, Big Dave) and Patrick Cuyvers (Hideaway, Soul Spirit) first worked together during sessions with Lurrie Bell in 2005. They hit it off so well that they have been playing together ever since. Dynamite Steve is a member of Last Call, in which he is renowned for his “second-line” drum style, an essential ingredient in New Orleans music. Patrick Cuyvers has a velvety voice and a great aptitude for playing the organ; he could be the prodigal son of Jimmy Smith and Chris Rea. When Patrick joined the band, it was time for the real deal. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Rob Vanspauwen, the fourth member of Jim Cofey, adds a southern sound to the band and deploys the art of Zen into his guitar playin’ through choppy rhythms & funky leads. New Orleans music never comes without African percussion. When Gert Servaes starts playing, don’t be confused by the name, you can see a glimpse of the Boabab Tree descending on stage. Saxophone player Igor Maseroli completes the line-up. He’s responsible for the energy & feel good vibe on stage and is renowned for his luscious superb solo’s. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Jim Cofey brings you quality. From Lowdown Funk, dirty uptemo grooves to real Mardi Gras-style party songs. The mix between well known classics and original material makes it all a unique experience.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
