For Georgie's sophmore release on Go Jazz, we focussed on the blues, enlisting modern blues masters like Dr. John and Stanley Turrentine to add some color, and relying on the same good-time production values (get engineer James Farber to set up the mics and turn the dials, have the baddest rhythm section in town lay the grooves down and order a nice lunch) that worked the first time around. ~Ben Sidran

The Blues And Me
Love the album- didn't know it existed! That's a good reason for your blog! Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mat, I first saw Georgie Fame in 1968 at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England in a concert entitled "Count Basie & Georgie Fame". ! Basie and his orchestra played part of the concert then Georgie Fame came on and the Count left the stage and Harry South took Basie's seat at the piano.
ReplyDeleteI've just dug the programme out to verify these facts. Happy Days.
Not really blues here, but some kind of jazz-bluesy songs. Not a 10/10 record, but some very good moments. Merci.
