  • coooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how you can see their personalities in the instrument that they play!

  • DiG ThAT BASS - AnD ThE HaMMoND -- PURE FUNK

  • The Live at the Fillmore, both the Cutis & Aretha sets, are in my Top 10 -- but this version is killer too. (More Jerry for a hungry bassist.) Where is it from?

  • King Curtis was a legend. an accomplished jazz musician. Inspired by the likes of Lester Yuung, Illinois Jacquet and Gene Ammons, he played with jazz greats Lionel Hampton, Wynton Kelly and Cannonball"s brother, Nat Adderly. He was an innovator in the school of rock and roll/funky sax playing and paved the way for cats like Junior Walker and Maceo Parker. In the late 50's, early 60's he made the move to rock and roll and the rest is history with classics like Memphis Soul Stew and Soul Serenade.
