Nigel Hall - "What a Wonderful World" solo Rhodes performance (Live at Chicago Electric Piano Co)

 

From The Chicago Electric Piano Company YouTube channel, another great performance by Nigel Hall, the one and the only.  Nigel Hall performs an original arrangement of "What a Wonderful World", recorded on Mavis Staples' 1976 Rhodes Suitcase piano. This recording demonstrates the lush stereo tremolo that has become synonymous with the Rhodes suitcase sound.

Count Basie (feat. Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis) "Jumpin' At The Woodside"

 

Another treasure, unearthed by Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack.

BBS, 1965.  The Count Basie Orchestra featuring Eddie Lockjaw Davis

Wallace Davenport, Sonny Cohn, Al Aarons, Phil Guilbeau – trumpet
Grover Mitchell, Henderson Chambers, Al Grey – trombone
Bill Hughes – bass trombone
Marshal Royal – alto saxophone, clarinet
Bobby Plater – alto saxophone, flute, arranger
Eric Dixon – tenor saxophone, flute, arranger
Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis – tenor saxophone
Charlie Fowlkes – baritone saxophone
Count Basie – piano
Freddie Green – guitar
Norman Keenan – bass
Rufus Jones – drums

Sources vary regarding the way in which Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis earned his nickname. Some claim he adopted the moniker at an early recording session while creating titles for his compositions; “Lockjaw” consequently, became not only the name of a tune, but also an important part of his billing. Still others point to Davis’s habit of clamping down on his tenor saxophone with his mouth as the reason his nickname came about, leading observers to call him “Lockjaw.”

Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, & Ray Charles "A Song For You"

 

A classic and emotional performance by three of the greatest musicians of all time.  Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, and Ray Charles, performing as part of Willie Nelson's 70th birthday concert in 2003, playing Leon Russell's "A Song for You".  You can sense a great deal of emotion, joy and sadness, both, in this performance, as Dr. Charles would only be with us on this earth for a short time afterwards.  We have also since lost Leon Russell who passed away in 2016.  Willie Nelson is still with us, thankfully.  This is a treasured performance, by three truly treasured musicians.
