Jazz for aficionados
It looks like this might happen all over again; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcASVdqUeOo Out of all the beautiful cuts by Eddie Harris, I think this is the most beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-RIqDbEl4k It seems I got stuck on Eddie Harris, that's easy to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBrV2XYJP7k Enjoy the music. |
I heard many a tale about '27 high water' when I was growing up. I think the Mississippi flooded from it's source to the gulf. This is my favorite version. A Boss CD also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0icuTyAvnPA Just found this. Very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMktmt9H_2U Cheers |

Rok, Every time I see or hear one of the great one's, I have to check to make sure they're still with us. I'm glad to see that Aaron Neville is still touring. I only realized from your posts how important "Nawlins" is to our musical heritage. Going all the way back to my late teen years when I "snuck" into one of the larger "juke joints" where a blues band was playing. What I didn't know, was those slick piano licks he was hittin came from Nawlins, and they came there so long ago nobody knows where they came from, but whoever is playing the piano claims them; most say "the Professor" brought them to town. Dr. John is like a museum for Nawlins; he keeps all the old ways like "Gri Gri", and other "hoodoo" stuff alive. Baron Smedi, who is on the cover of "Creole Moon" was in an episode of "Miami Vice" where "Legba", a voodoo high priest from Haiti captured "Tubs" when he went undercover. Here's "Bruha Bembe" from "Creole Moon"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA-ZaD7QtGw Enjoy the music. |
*****I only realized from your posts how important "Nawlins" is to our musical heritage***** It's importance cannot be overstated. Not only did Jazz begin there, it is possible, that it was the ONLY place it could have been created. You could say Nawlins was the perfectly blended Gumbo. Just enough of the bad and the good. Too much of the bad, and we would not have progressed beyond the Blues. Too much of the good, and Jelly Roll and the guys would have been playing Sousa. Cheers |
