Full Concert Friday this week takes me back, as I attended this concert with my brother Charlie, in person, on November 8th, 2019, at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lettuce, funk band from Boston, Massachusetts. This was a fun show to witness, and I will always remember it. The band lineup is:
Here is an offbeat and interesting performance. It is rock band Jethro Tull with their lead vocalist and flautist, Ian Anderson, playing the blues on "Song for Jeffrey" as part of the 1968 "Rock and Roll Circus" concert put on by The Rolling Stones that was released as a movie in 1996. The music was recorded specifically for a lip sync for the show. That is what makes it zany. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath fame is featured on guitar in the video. But it is clearly the band's original guitarist, Mick Abrahams who is playing the slide guitar part we hear in the song itself.
From a performance at the 1981 Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, on July 11th, 1981, James Brown and his band bring the soul and the funk playing a medley of "Baby, Baby, Baby" and "Please, Please, Please". Give a big round of applause to Soul Brother Number One, Mr. Dynamite, the King and the Living Legend of Soul. The one and the only... James Brown!

Theme for Stacey (Morgan) Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Jazz 625, BBC, 1965 featuring Lee Morgan, trumpet; John Gilmore, tenor saxophone; John Hicks, piano; Victor Sproles, bass and Art Blakey on drums.

This week's Sunday Special. Music video by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble performing I'm Leaving You (Commit A Crime). (C) 1986 Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
Full Concert Friday this week, featuring the duo of guitarist Calvin Keys and tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, a true jazz legend. This is jazz at the art gallery. February 1st, 1984, at the Eye Gallery in San Francisco, California. The jazz being played by Calvin Keys and Joe Henderson represents and accompanies the photography, framed in the background, that was done by photographer Tom Copi.
Full Album Friday this week, is taken from a playlist posted to YouTube, and pointed out to me, by a high school buddy who also happens to be a guitar player and music afficionado. This is Masa Takagi, a Japanese singer/songwriter and her 1974 record "Take a Ten" and this record is filled with songs that are really a part of the country rock genre and the cannon of American music. So, there's country and western, rock, pop, and rhythm & blues influence in a lot of this record. The musicians on this record are also top-notch session players. Plus, the producers and arrangers for this record really did it right. It has stood the test of time for half a century, so you know the music is good. Nice to finally introduce it to people, who like me, have only just recently heard of it.
The track listing is:
American rock and roll band Steppenwolf, named after the title of a Herman Hesse novel, with one of their biggest hit songs, "Magic Carpet Ride", recorded and released in 1969, with bandleader John Kay on guitar and lead vocals, Michael Monarch on lead guitar and backing vocals, the late, great Rushton Moreve on bass, Jerry Edmonton on drums, and the late, great Goldy McJohn on Hammond organ and vocals. It is McJohn who plays the epic Hammond solo. Check out "Magic Carpet Ride".

"Oh yes, Raphael plays a dynamic brand of B-3, his passion commensurate with his technique and his creative intelligence. He's a high-voltage dynamo but also a musician of surprising delicacy and self-reflection. Call him one of the finest blues/funk/jazz B-3 operators anywhere."

"It’s 2021 most purely enjoyable blues listening experience” (LIVING BLUES)
“It’s a true organ trio effort smeared in fat and grease - no fakery. Uncommonly adept at the art of nailing down funk rhythms, this international threesome infuses groove music with elements of jazz, blues, R&B, soul and gospel as if they’d found the Holy Grail to be the early-1970s, cross-genre funk of Jimmy McGriff. Suggestive of McGriff, but with a modern approach, Wressnig changes the tones and drawbar setting throughout a song and deals from a deck of Jimmy Smith-inspired R&B lines, hooks and licks. The fortyish Graz resident displays tremendous spirit and keen musical intellect as he accentuates the natural beauty of the Hammond”
