Ehlona records

Not to be confused with the late NYC guitarist or the Nashville singer of
the same name, this Charles Walker is a saxophonist from
Milwaukee, who, although he doesn't sing a word, earned his leader's credits by
producing, arranging and writing all of the disc's 9 songs, as well as
soloing on most tracks and leading the instrumental Hand Clappin.  The vocal
chores are handled well by Miss Shanna Jackson, a gospel influenced
shouter, while Turkish guitarist Emre Alp and organist Rob Waters share solo
space with Walker and bassist Kent Hamele and drummer Nic Fugate make up the
rhythm section.  Unlike many Milwaukee bands, the group's reference point is
more R&B than Chicago blues.  This is a highly professional effort from a band
that shows the potential to move beyond a strictly local orbit.
