Notre prochain concert se tiendra le 23 mai à Fontenay-sous-Bois, à partir de 20h. Affiche en pièce jointe, entrée libre mais réservation conseillée aux numéros indiqués.

Notre projet musical et militant passe par la chanson, le blues et la folk, tout en flirtant avec la musique du monde.

Depuis quand n'êtes-vous pas allé assister à un concert d'artistes inconnus et obscurs ? C'est l'occasion de vous racheter ! 😃 🎶

Great Reviews On The New Album, 1625 Groove Street
---
Ruffy says - Solid work! Make sure to give the sax guy a raise! :3

My friend ZDL from Wuhan, China, sent me this review on Mastodon.

I quite like this. It's nice, light fare meaning I can have it as the background when I'm working, but if I pause and concentrate on it there are some very nice depths to it. Also the sax soloist is fire.

Listen here.

@zdl @Carl

I'll be recording Bebop Beatniks with Paul Lessard again the Saturday after Easter.

Also I am recording another band I'm calling #jazz #blues #fusion featuring some fine outstanding musicians from NE Arkansas.

My new project is Fly On The Wall Recording Sessions where I livestream recording sessions and chat with the audience between takes. Just at the setup and testing stage so far.

I'll let you know when the livestreams start.

ooh, I've been dying to introduce more people to Robert Cray's '1040 Blues'

m.youtube.com/watch?v=oeHr7ZNp

One time in a guitar forum some idiot posts it’s a song about a guy who can't take his taxes.

Like, did you miss the verse where he literally gets on a megaphone and says:

'I bin thinkin bout... movin somewhere else—but I can't, because I love America too much... 'specially California. So, I guess I'm gonna hafta pay these taxes...'

1001 Other Albums

Taj Mahal – Taj Mahal (1968, US)

Our next spotlight is on number 305 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston.

Well, this beauty of an album sure is a portal into multiple rabbit holes! This is the debut “solo” album from American blues musician and vocalist Taj Mahal (a.k.a. Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr.), though it continues Mahal’s collaboration with Ry Cooder, who he previously worked with in the short-lived folk-rock group Rising Sons, and who would go onto become known as one of the greatest guitarists, particularly with his slide guitar work. The other key band member on this album is one Jesse Ed Davis, a citizen of the Kiowa tribe. While Davis had already started his musical career in the 50s, his work with Mahal seems to have brought him into the spotlight – and very rightly so! Davis would appear on the next three Mahal albums (playing both lead guitar and piano), and then would go solo himself while continuing to be a sought-after session musician, working with the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, and many many others.

As for Mahal himself, this was only the first of many solo albums, and he’s still going! Next month he’ll release what I believe is technically his 28th studio album (though he has around 100 albums listed on Discogs), a collab with Keb’ Mo’ titled Room On The Porch.

If you want to get lost in the blues, give this one a spin and go from there!

The cover art is a collage of a photo of the artist sitting on a chair in front of a 2-story white house (known as the Salt Box - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_Box) with illustrations of various birds and butterflies superimposed on the photo, so they look like they are gathering around the artist, who is playing a guitar. The artist's name is in red font, placed at the top of the roof of the house. A chainlink fence with barbed wire at the top is between the house and Taj Mahal, as at the time there were plans to demolish the house, even though it was designated as a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument. The following year (1969) the house was moved and was to be restored, but then it was destroyed in a fire.
