Usually not immediately drawn to the bass and drum in a song or album but on these songs that's where I was drawn.ken49https://www.blogger.com/profile/08305448162994008399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-13263313809677333292020-01-30T06:10:57.029-08:002020-01-30T06:10:57.029-08:00I never realized Black Betty wasn't a Ram Jam ...I never realized Black Betty wasn't a Ram Jam original until this very day.

It's, at least to my ears, the one track that perfectly matches Guthrie's melody with an almost Ornette vibe.

Loved hearing earlier Richard Davis.

Fantastic vocals and a great swing to the tune.<br /><br />It's weird, but I prefer listening to jazz performed live over listening to recordings. Makes no sense, because it's the same music. (I'm talking about the same exact performance, note for note - - not just because in a live setting there would be more improvisation). Somehow I see myself enjoying something like this a lot more standing in the Jazz Tent at JF or sitting at a table at a small club than I do sitting in my living room or listening on my PC (which is what I just did). And I would love to hear that singer in an intimate live setting, those vocals are mesmerizing. <br /><br />It's not necessarily like that for other types of music, but it's that way for me with jazz. Anyway, thanks for the share today.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863565099476649907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-86986193425743666292020-01-29T13:28:15.078-08:002020-01-29T13:28:15.078-08:00This went over well.This went over well.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.com
