Danny Klein’s Full House
-DANNY KLEIN, Bass,
founding member of The J Geils Band Danny Klein, "Ace On Bass," is the founding member and bass player for one of the worlds all time hard driving rhythm and blues acts, Boston's own The J. Geils Band. As all will testify, this pure party traveling circus got "crazy with it" and for 17 years -17 albums and thousands of gigs - The J. Geils Band delivered the passion, note after note, night after night. Now, Danny brings together a superb group of musicians from his “college of musical knowledge” to perform the classic hits and celebrate the music we all love. Who can resist the top of the charts number one bestsellers like Freeze Frame, Centerfold, and Love Stinks, and the classics like First I Look At The Purse, Give It To Me, Musta Got Lost, Whammer Jammer, I Do, Houseparty, Detroit Shuffle and so many more, all performed by DK and his 9 piece band "Full House". And don’t forget to “shake what your mama gave you!” The formation of the official J. Geils Band began a long and historic rock & roll ride starting with 1970's self-titled Atlantic release, The J. Geils Band, up to 1984's You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd, the only album recorded and released without Peter Wolf. After 17 albums and 17 years of touring, The J. Geils Band took a lengthy sabbatical from that 1984 release. Klein says he felt burned out and decided to pursue another passion. "I always loved to cook" he said, "so I went to Culinary School in Cambridge and for the next ten years I was a chef in restaurants around New England. As the economy slipped in the 90s, restaurants closed and few jobs were available. "That's when I decided to get back into music. I realized I had really missed it!" Then on June 19, 1999, The J.Geils Band reunited for their first time on-stage since the breakup, a gig at the Paradise Theater in Boston, documented on a bootleg Jake Geils Band: The Reunion Live, Paradise,and a three week re-union tour. Having the luxury of being in both the J. Geils Band and Stone Crazy keeps Danny Klein doing what he loves best, continuing to put his critically acclaimed licks on music he enjoys now with Danny Klein’s Full House. |
