JJT – JJT (2015)

FINALLY, here comes the long awaited release of J.J.T. — the ultimate Melodic Hard Rock Power Trio that mixes all the great elements of 70’s and 80’s hard rock with modern production, a little prog rock and ALOT of attitude!!
Featuring highly touted guitar icon JIMMY CRESPO (of AEROSMITH, Flame, Adam Bomb, Rod Stewart, Paul Shortino, Stress), with monster bassist/vocalist/keyboardist TOMMY PARIS (of BRITNY FOX, Jillson, Divine Judgment, Count’s 77)AND undoubtedly one of the greatest drum powerhouses on the west coast JAMIE BORDEN (of Jillson, Stranger, Divine Judgment, Michael Grimm and a regularly featured drum clinician who has released many instructional videos.)

This explosive combo has put together a fantastic infectious slab of hard hitting, face-melting, ball-busting anthemic hard rock which clearly shows off the distinct, signature sounds of each member — with Crespo’s classic six string stinging flashy fluid bluesy licks ; Borden’s slamming progressive powerful double-bass drumming with a nice dose of funk combined with some of the most amazing and blindingly fast fills (from hands AND feet!) you will ever hear!! All this combined with Tommy Paris’ tasty bass grooves, gripping vocals and his own brand of melodic songwriting, with stacked vocal harmonies, that will be familiar to all you Jillson and Britny Fox fans!! Nothing less than absolutely essential….
