Arnett Cobb with Jimmy Ford and Calvin Owens - I Got Rhythm (Live) 1986

[Tigford]

I grew up watching Arnett and Jimmy play live. In the late 70's before Arnett's comeback, they would play at Huber's Seafood in downtown Houston, of all places. They played each week to only a few dozen people at most, but performed like they were at Carnegie Hall.

I still miss them both to this day.
