That is my neighbor and good friend of many years, Morris "Magic Slim" Holt. I am always deeply honored and humbled when he lets me sit in on vocals with him when he performs here at home.
When Eric Clapton starts to sound like this great man I'll listen to him again !! Until this happens, I'll stick to the magic's blues touch !! A Gibson Les Paul and a master bluesman at work ! Nothing else needs to be said !!
Magic is a awsome musician and person,that lil blues bar in lincon the zoo,we played there 5 or 6 times the first time magic was sitting at the bar when we was setting up,and he came up and said you boys mind if i sit in i got a guitar and a amp in the basement,and that was the most fun i ever had playing the blues......Great guy!!!!!!!
Nice to see Magic is now an elder statesman, used to see him lots 30 yrs ago in a tiny bar called the Zoo. Slim is ain't so slim...he's a big man and one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet.
Je connais Magic Slim depuis qu'il est sorti "on the wax" sous la marque MCM en 1975 ; je l'ai revu plusieurs fois 25 ans après, notamment au Jazz Club Lionel Hampton à Paris : il est meilleur que le bon vin ... N'hésitez pas à publier vos vidéos sur le sujet, il se fait très très rare ...
When I first saw Magic Slim (Morris Holt), it was in Paris around 78, sporting his old sunburst jazz master, with a kick ass band like nothing I had ever heard.
You're right, great clip! I've just been introduced to Magic Slim by a co-worker's husband. It was a Saturday and she and I were the only 2 in the school, I had some Coltrane on when her husband came in and asked if I ever heard of Magic Slim. He lent me Black Tornado and I was hooked. Great stuff.
Saw him at The Zoo Bar, in Lincoln, NE, about '93.
Hell-uva-show!!!
