                    Marion Walter Jacobs (Marksville, 1 mei 1930 - Chicago, 15 februari 1968), beter bekend als Little Walter, was een Afro-Amerikaans blueszanger, mondharmonicaspeler en gitarist.

                  Robert Jr Lockwood (guitar)  Luther Tucker (guitar) Fred Below (drums)

Jacobs eerste uitgegeven opname was in 1947, onder het label Ora-Nelle. In 1948 voegde Jacobs zich bij Muddy Waters' band en vanaf 1950 speelde Jacobs mee op opnames, onder Chess Records. Als gitarist heeft Jacobs ook opnames gemaakt onder het label Parkway, met Muddy Waters en Baby Face Leroy Foster. Ook ondersteunde hij pianist Eddie Ware muzikaal met zijn gitaar tijdens opnamesessies. Jacobs' eigen populariteit steeg aanzienlijk toen hij zijn eigen geschreven nummer uitbracht: Juke, onder Checker Records, 1952. Het werd een instrumentale hit. Het stond acht weken op #1 in de Billboard magazine R&B charts. Het nummer is ook opgenomen in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll[4]. Ook werd het nummer opgenomen in de Grammy Awards Hall of Fame[5]. Jacobs bleef nummers uitgeven; tussen 1952 en 1958 scoorde Jacobs 14 toptien-hits in de Billboard R&B charts, waaronder twee #1-hits. Ook als sideman was Jacobs actief, op de mondharmonica begeleidde hij muzikaal onder anderen Jimmy Rogers, John Brim, Rocky Fuller, Memphis Minnie, The Coronets, Johnny Shines, Floyd Jones, Bo Diddley, Shel Silverstein, Otis Rush, Johnny Young en Robert Nighthawk. Jacobs toerde tweemaal door Europa, waar van verschillende concerten opnames zijn gemaakt en later op dvd zijn verschenen.

Jacobs was een alcoholist en stond bekend om zijn slechte humeur, wat nu en dan tot ruzies leidde. Een paar maanden na zijn tweede tour door Europa raakte hij verzeild in een gevecht nadat hij een korte pauze nam van een optreden in Chicago. Jacobs raakte gewond en stierf die nacht in zijn slaap in het appartement van zijn vriendin. De officiƫle overlijdensakte luidde dat de oorzaak van zijn dood een trombose was. Marion Walter Jacobs werd op 22 februari 1968 begraven op de begraafplaats St. Mary's Cemetery, in Evergreen Park.

James McMurtrey & Band at Porgy & Bess(Ned.) 11 Febr.2017

    Foto Arthur

Een boeiend artikel in muziekblad Heaven over deze singer/songwriter en mooie recenties ,voldoende redenen om af te reizen naar Porgy & Bess voor een optreden van deze singer/songwriter uit Austin Texas.Het bleek de moeite waard.....


 
James McMurtry - Choctaw Bingo (Porgy & Bess... door  morrisanddylan

James McMurtry is geen artiest die het van zijn uitstraling moet hebben,grappen en grollen zijn niet aan hem besteed.Onaangekondigd begint hij te spelen ,wat volgt  is een bijna twee uur durend optreden. Sterke teksten,uitstekend gitaarspel en prima begeleiders.Van de eerste tot de laatste minuut boeiend.


                         
    Copper Canteen (Album Complicated Game)

 James is de zoon van de bekende schrijver Larry McMurtry(The Last Picture Show,Terms Of Endearment ,Lonesome Dove) Hij schreef ook het script voor Falling From Grace met rootsrocker John Mellencamp in de hoofdrol.Toen hij Mellencamp wat van James muziek liet horen was die daarvan zo onder de indruk dat hielp met het produceren van diens eerste album "Too Long In The Wasteland".Het werd een succes en een muzikale carriere was geboren.

                                     These Things I,ve Come To Now ( album Complicated Game)

Veel nummers van zijn veelgeprezen laatste album deze avond.Enkele recenties . Amazon "
McMurtry's first collection in six years spotlights a craftsman in absolutely peak form as he turns from political toward personal" Uncut "McMurtry's flair for the cinematic shines brighter than ever."
   Mojo"There's a sense in almost all the songs of open roads, either beckoning or closed in, or both."

          Too Long In Wasteland (
Van het gelijknamige  album uit 1989

Zijn manier van zingen deed me op momenten aan Lou Reed denken(puur persoonlijk.)De inbreng van de de tweede gitarist bracht een rocksausje over het geheel wat mij prima beviel.
                         


                                          You Got To Me (Complicated Game)

Na afloop bleek James een aardige bescheiden man ,wars van elke vorm van capsones.Natuurlijk zijn laatste album aangeschaft ,en al die mooie recentie,s waren niets teveel gezegd,prachtalbum!


 "It used to be we toured to promote record sales and it's really the other way around," he says. "Now we put the records out so you guys will write about us so that somebody will know we're coming to town and buy a ticket."

And maybe a pitcher or two of beer. (Quote J.M.)

Rory Gallagher - Houston, Texas... door  morrisanddylan

For a career that was cut short by illness and a premature death, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rory Gallagher sure accomplished a lot in the blues music world. Although Gallagher didn't tour the U.S. nearly enough, spending most of his time in Europe, he was known for his no-holds-barred, marathon live shows at clubs and theaters around the United State



Rory Gallagher - Houston, Texas... door  morrisanddylan


 Interview with rory, one of the nicest and most humble musician in music history.
 He died too early, but his music lives on.

 
William Rory Gallagher   2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995)] was an Irish blues and rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal,[3] and brought up in Cork, Gallagher recorded solo albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, after forming the band Taste during the late 1960s. He was a talented guitarist known for his charismatic performances and dedication to his craft. Gallagher's albums have sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide.[4][5] Gallagher received a liver transplant in 1995, but died of complications later that year in London, UK at the age of 47.

Van Morrison & AllStar Band - Devonshire Studio North Hollywood (12 april 1990)

          The AllStar Band with Herbie Hancock - Chick Corea - Freddie Hubbard - Larry Carlton
          Richie Buckley - Georgie Fame -Dave Early - Steve Gregory - Bernie Holland - Nicky Scott.

From  Cable TV's Showtime Coast To Coast; a unique series of in-concert performances, interviews and collaborations hosted by Herbie Hancock.

                                      It,s must be fun,playing with this jazzcats


      Moondance
 "Moondance" all time VM classic , and is the title song on his 1970 album Moondance.

Morrison did not release the song as a single until November 1977, seven and a half years after the album was released. It reached the Billboard Hot 100, charting at #92.It is the most frequently played song by Van Morrison in concert.[

         How Long Must This Been Going On

 "How Long Has This Been Going On?" is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin for the musical Funny Face in 1928.

 It is the titletrack from the twenty-fourth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, "with Georgie Fame and Friends", released in December 1995 (see 1995 in music) in the UK. It charted at #1 on Top Jazz Albums.

In the case of tonight's episode, the results include a startlingly unusual, thoroughly jazz-based reading of Morrison's "Moon Dance" as well as a sometimes-rough but always fascinating Morrison interpretation of the standard "How Long Has This Been Going On."
The segment was taped in Los Angeles in April during a quick session that allowed no time for complex planning. "And that's the way I like it," Hancock observed. "That's how you catch the first burst of the real creative juices.(Hancock)

De zeer beweeglijke en swingende Sugar Ray last bij momenten ook zijn rustmomenten in ,zoals hier bij de Freddy King klassieker "Same Old Blues"

The Blues Giants(feat.Sugaray Rayford) De... door  morrisanddylan 


Blikvanger is natuurlijk ,onlangs zijn zijn kolossale gestalte,de zeer beweeglijke Sugaray Rayford.
Tevens eens prima entertainer die regelmatig het publiek uitnodigde voor  zang en dans.
Hij zong als 7 jarige al mee in een kerkkoor,de gospelinvloeden zijn nog goed te horen.
Samengevat ,het was een prachtige avond met rock,blues en soul. Het was de eerste tournee van de band in deze samenstelling,wat mij betreft zeer geslaagd.
