Jesse Ed Davis / Ching ching china boy (Santa Monica73）

[ZelbeQahi]

He's fighting a sore throat, thats why his voice is coarse and yet, manages to pull it off thanks to his fellow session buddies Gary Gilmore on bass from the Taj Mahal Band and Jim Keltner on drums, I'm not sure, but his Live at the Palomino Club show was better, especially his solo on Johnnie B Goode. In his interview he says Taj Mahals drummer, Chuck Blackwell, went on to play for Leon Russell.

@ZelbeQahi If this is a recording from Jesse's performance at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, which I believe it is, the musicians that you listed are incorrect. The drummer was Gary Ray (not Keltner), The bassist was the late Howard Tsukamoto (Not Gary Gilmore) The late Ray Eckstein on keyboards and I believe it is Jerry Jumonville on Sax.

Jesse & his '59 Tele were at the heart of the '70's music scene.

He made that old toploader SING

My question: Why are the lyrics to this song unavailable online? Am I just not looking in the right places? Help!

[schtung1]

chiidang, I just wrote you an email. The drummer on that show was Gary Ray. The keyboardist was my older brother, The late Raymond Eckstein.

Thank you for commenting.

Both, it is worn out.

[blackball2006]

if i tried to play in the state Jesse might have been in, well, i'd be a lot sloppier, let's put it that way. for a session guy like JED, i'd say playing like this was old-hat for him. that's right; you show 'em who's the boss man, jesse.

[chiidang]

Thank you for commenting.

He is one person of the style in which a successor is not.

[bryanswagerty]

Jesse sounds a little messed up here.

[chiidang]

Thank you for commenting.

His death was too early.

[teresaslo2]

[chiidang]
