I have a life-long affinity for the blues that started when i was just into double digits.
Recent examples like Vaughn, Clapton, and Moore are great; but most importantly, the originators like King and his contemporaries are memorable.
I wasn't planning on doing this today but here is another great; one of the icons of the blues. None better.
Muddy Waters

It's not Muddy enough around here. Let's fix that! The wailin' blues harp is a great sound.

The blues musician many credit with being the most influential of the originators...
Robert Johnson

This addition will improve the "originators" category referred to above re RJ.

I own some Cray. He's a bit commercial (helps sell records) but I like most of his stuff.
Then there is jazz. 500 posts coming up.

Sorry doesn't cut it. I knew you would retract it.
Les McCann and Eddie Harris
THIS is a major jazz classic, written by Gene McDaniels, and as the country continues to deteriorate the lyrics are even more meaningful.

Allegedly, this is the same tune with the tempo slowed. It's a great sound anyway.

These two greats, McCann and Harris, made fantastic music together.
A tune about a fizzy wine popular around that time.

Here, Eddie Harris appears with Les McCann but doesn’t play sax. Instead he plays piano and sings a playful, funny, self-deprecating song called “Eddie Who”? He describes his accomplishments (e.g., creating an electrified sax) but implies he gets no respect for them, and, as a result, no one knows him. The beat is a tasty, ramblin’, shufflin’ one that you don’t want to end.
Eddie Who?

A beautiful melody with spice added by Harris (sax), Benny Bailey (trumpet), and Les McCann anchoring on the piano.

Les McCann, by himself, playing a beautiful and affecting tune. I wonder what it may have meant to him at the time.

Excellent tune, but I did have a giggle at the 80's look -- I mean, did you see the drummer?
