are Patrick Lamb, Paul deLay, and
Norman Sylvester and their bands, all
celebrated musicians in the R&B genre.

finale master jam session.
Paul deLay, considered one of the
finest blues harmonica players and
singer-songwriters around, and his band
are well known in blues circles across
the nation. The Philadelphia Enquirer
recently printed, “For a bluesman, and
he’s a great one, Paul deLay has the
most infectiously bright spirit you’re
likely to hear... deLay doesn’t pull any
punches, and like the best blues, his
songs have the ring of truth that comes
from real-life experiences.”
