Horribleblob,

 

Thank you for that. Believe it or not, my mother took me to see Muddy Waters at the Manchester Free Trade Hall- I must have been about 12 yrs old ! I'm still playing his music 55 yrs later. You made my day. Such class and style puts our "modern hipsters" to shame.

Great dancing by the black guys. I have been known and seen to do the same in the Twisted Wheel, Manchester, when I was a teenager (early teens ).

 

Anybody who was anybody in jazz, blues and gospel sang and played at the Newport Festival in 58. Luis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden play and sing a very touching duet.

Gerry Mulligan is all over the baritone sax. The young people dancing -what more can one say.

 

Thanks once again for Muddy Waters.

 

I'll now get on mastering my newly acquired valve trombone from my "Old Rocking Chair ".

I saw

and had a chat with Bill. A fantastic guitarist and a lovely fella.

 

They did a great

tribute too.

Sibon,

 

Two inspiring clips -thanks. His rendition of , "The Times They Are A Changing" is food for the soul.

 

I think you would like the music of , " Big Chief". They've been going a long time and I played trumpet a couple of times with the band. I worked with John Fry-the singer and tenor sax player. We were both allegedly teachers at Southgate College. The band's CDs are available. But sadly, I cannot find a Youtube clip of the band . Sometimes they would feature Art Theman on Tenor sax.

Pete King and Art Theman take the Alto and Tenor sax to a level beyond description. Don Weller often featured at the Bulls Head in Barnes . I was at the gig in the link.

 

It's a pity that we cannot get these guys to do a concert in Sheffield. Hope you like it.

 

 

 

And here's Art Theman:
