Liner notes from Jump & Shout, by Rico Cass:

Before Harry Smith and Francis Child, Stephen Foster and W.C. Handy, Johnson and Jolson, before Franklin and Edison, Bach and Beethoven, folks got by alright. They played music for themselves and their friends. A few even got paid. There were no critics to say that their music wasn't confessional enough or was too derivative or not varied enough in tempo or key, or it lacked sophistication. I'm sure they played pretty good.

Liner notes from Live! Live! Live!, by Ken Safety:

When bandleader/guitarist Chris Cass counts off the beginning of the first set,
eight seemingly disparate individuals come to life at "The Triple Threat Blues Band".

Hailing from Southern Connecticut, the group manages to mix authenticity with
creativeness, resulting in an entertaining portrayal of "Chicago Style Blues".

Behind the growling vocals of Rico cass, the groundwork is established. Drummer Chris Morrissey
and bassist Mark Donnelly provide the power while hornmen Joe Graziano and
Paul Simonetta provide the punch. The soarong guitar work of Charles Bittman is balanced by
fellow guitarist Chris Cass. Jerrry Capuano fills out the sound with tasty organ work and
excellent vocal renditions.

The music on this compact disc was recorded from a single live performance.
It gives the listener an accurate and exciting view of what
"The Triple Threat Blues Band" is all about.
