an extraordinary Musical jOURNEY
with Robert Walter (Greyboy Allstars) & Captain Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds)
Summer 2025
a friendship made in jazz heaven
Robert and Eddie met back in 1996 when Greyboy Allstars played their first ever European show, which happened to be in Leeds, England. Eddie’s band at the time, The Three Deuces, opened for them that night, and that was the start of a long friendship between them.
Fast forward to 2004. The New Mastersounds' first shows in the US were at Chicago House of Blues opening for The Greyboy Allstars. Eddie recalls walking on stage and Robert saying ‘I remember you!’
A couple of years later, Eddie was hanging in Chicago and got a call from Stanton Moore’s manager asking if he could get to Iowa that night to fill in for Stanton’s trio with Robert because Will Bernard’s flight was cancelled - that was the very first non-NMS show he played in the US.
There has been so much history between the two of them The musical friendship needs no more explanation if you’ve ever seen them play together, whether it be in Robert’s many line ups, with WRD or Rare Sounds, or at a late-night show at JazzFest.
This trip is your invitation to an extraordinary musical journey of a lifetime.
