Recorded in Milano 1980 , from :"Flat-Out Jump Suite " (black saint) :firstprize:
Cello -- Abdul Wadud
Flute, Tenor Saxophone -- Julius Hemphill




" 'Body' especially, is one composition that is totally suffused with the blues - this is vivid, intense music animated by swaggering R&B, swing-era saxophonics, eerie spirituals and dissonant multiphonics. :award:
...................

Due to ill health, including diabetes and a heart condition, Hemphill died in 1995, aged 57".

Θα μπορούσε κάλλιστα να μπει και στο Cinematic (από το Dead Flowers του 2010), αλλά και στο Solitude, ίσως και στο six feet underground, σίγουρα στο First Time I saw your Face, αλλά έπρεπε να επιλέξω μια κατηγορία κι αυτή ήταν η πρώτη μου επιλογή....

Lee Harvey Osmond - Break Your Body

(Dead Flowers (2010)

Written, Produced & Directed by Ryan Furlong

Distributor: Bravo!Fact Canada

Canadian rock icon Kathleen Edwards plays an unhappily married woman who finds herself in the presence of two manipulative grifters (Tim Gibbons & Tom Wilson) and becomes overwhelmed by the possibility of something more than the safety of her suburban life with her husband (Mat Willson). Starring some of Canada’s most revered musicians, this moody short offers a unique opportunity to see singer-songwriters acting in an oddly suspenseful dark film written and directed by Ryan Furlong.)

"This DVD, from the "When the Sun Goes Down" series, features an additional 1/2 hour of footage not in the theatrical release. Includes rare footage of Howlin' Wolf on Shindig, presented by the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Brian Jowns, previously unknown performance footage, including drummer Sam Lay's rare home movies, newly discovered photos, first time filmed interviews with Howlin' Wolf's family, interviews with Hubert Sumlin, Billy Boy Arnold, Marshal Chess, more. Features lots of live performance footage.

Howlin' Wolf is a legendary figure in blues music, with an influence that has seeped into the pantheon of rock 'n' roll via influential figures namechecking him, such as Keith Richards. His life story is presented here, tracing his career back to its roots, and following his battle against hardship as he strove to get his music across to a wider audience. Unfortunately this only occurred posthumously, but luckily director Don McGlynn has exhumed a welter of material from the vaults, much of which has never previously been made public. Discover a blues original for yourself with this fascinating, in-depth documentary"

Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and somebody will be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

ΥΓ. Συγκλονιστική, βέβαια και η διασκευή των Dead στο Fillmore West το 1969, κομμάτι το οποίο συμπεριέλαβαν στο δίσκο τους Live/Dead.

Θα μπορούσε άνετα να παίξει τον ρόλο της απάντησης στο ερώτημα του Γιώργη (Πουσε ωρε;;)...What is the blues? Λοιπόν Γιώργη...

Blues is a woman, that woman I call my own
Blues is a woman, that woman I call my own
I'm happy when she's near me
Sad when she leaves me all alone

Blues is a feeling that pains your very heart
Blues is a feeling that pains your very heart
Don't feel it when she's with you
But how it aches when you're apart

Blues is song I sing both night and day
Blues is song I sing both night and day
When you've got a woman
It makes you sing the blues that way

Μπήκα από την αρχή του νήματος και με πιάσανε τα νεύρα μου σε κάποια φάση όταν είδα τύπους να χτυπούν πέτρες στα ιντερνετικα κάτεργα...Ας είναι...Να τους το αφιερώσω...


ΥΓ..Έρχεται κι άλλο...Ποιο ψυχρό...

Να και ο τύπος που άλλαξε το μπράτσο,επειδη είχε την εμμονή αλλά δεν είχε τα γκαφρα για να αποκτήσει το σύνολο της εμμονής του κάποτε...Συνήθως οι γλυκές φωνές κρύβουν τις αγριοτερες αντιδράσεις...Απλός μες τα συναισθήματά του αλλά αντιδραστικός και ανάποδος από την πρώτη κιόλας νότα...Φέρνει κάτι από την ηδονή της ακρόασης του Tin Pan Alley με τον ανέκφραστο (για κάποιους-όχι για μένα) Stevie Ray να επιβάλει έναν άτυπο κόφτη στα ανδραγαθήματα της ταστιέρας του Melvin Taylor...

Albert Collins Cold, Cold Feeling

I've got a cold, cold feeling
It just like ice around my heart
I've got a cold, cold feeling, yeah, yeah
It just like ice around my heart
I know I'm gonna quit somebody
Every time that feeling starts

You treat my like a prisoner
Because my hands are tied
Everything you do to me
Is stackin' up inside

It's a cold, cold feeling, yeah
You're just like ice around my heart
I know I'm gonna quit somebody
Every time that feeling starts

There's a change in me, baby
Once I was blind but now I can see
There's a change in me, baby, yeah, yeah
Once I was blind but now I can see
I'm gonna put everybody down, baby
That ever made a fool of me
