Fossett is an uncoventional bandleader for this type of thing; his vocal delivery is far more articulate, mid-registered, and slender than the archetypal blues mutterer, and his guitarwork can get maddeningly spacey. Jazz finds its way in. Blues is a game with strict parameters, so if this kind of rulebreak sounds appealing to you, look for J&A's debut CD, Senseless, at Bullmoose today.
