William Clarke - Must Be Jelly

This is another one from the "Alligator Record Release Party DVD". William Clarke calls up Alex Schultz and Bill Stuve from the audience on this one, and the band takes off into next gear! All in all its 1 hour of steaming hot jumping blues on this DVD. Alex and Bill plays on several songs in the middle of the set. Mail Jeannette at: JLodovici@aol.com I f you want it!

I can also recommend the new William Clarke cd called, One More Again. Great harp work as usual from William. And for all you "jumpguitaraddict's" out there it's a must! Alex Schultz on 7 of 10 tracks!

Hi again, in what order would you rank the guitar players who worked with Bill? Personally I have this order: Alex Schultz, Kid Ramos, John Marx, Rick Holmstrom, Zach Zunis. Nils

[Bluesswede]

Hi harpman. I could never "rank" them. I think everyone is good in their own style! To your list of guitarist's that played with Clarke you also can put Joel Foy, Hollywood Fats, John Marx, Steve Samuels, Ronnie Earl e.t.c.

[Harpmann]

What a band! please keep posting everything available of Big Bill! There will never be another like him!

[Bluesswede]

Hi Nils. Yea, this is a big inspiration to see and hear. And for me, all guitarist's that played with Bill. I will post some more in a while. Send Jeannette a mail and buy the DVD, it's great music on it! /BS

Very moving for me to see this. I can feel that groove from BIll right through the screen. He made a groove a mile wide, that's why it was so beautiful to play with him. Swinging in a way like no other. Bill Clarke- that's blues and soul right there that we won't see the likes of again. One of the all-time greats. R.I.P. Bill.

great stuff!

I love w. Clark's harp playing, and especially like the riffing of his guitar player, his fills are perfect.

the *best* harmonica video on youtube (that I know so far ;)

Thanks for posting

Great harp tone. I never got to see him live. His playing excites me.

Fats, Watson, Ramos, Holmes..all the cats from the West Coast scene are from the T-Bone Walker school and at this point in their careers, ('cept Fats) are so good it's absurd to try and rate them. The dark horse in this style of guitar blues is Rusty Zinn. If you haven't seen Rusty lately, as in 2010, then you haven't seen what's really hot in the West Coast style. I've seen all the guys listed above, Rusty's as good as any of them. Catch him on tour with Mark Hummel RIGHT NOW. You'll dig it.

Ranking is tough...but here it is: Hollywood Fats Junior Watson CRAIG PRINTUP Then there's the one's that were mentioned plus: Steve Kilman The Chase Brothers Paul Bryant Greg Virginio Little Henry Carvahal Jeff Ross Barry Levenson

The intro comments aimed at Stuve and

Alex are funny as shit...as both guys were playing with Piazza back then. I think it's

Gil Lamar...owner of the blues record

store that says..."Yer not with the

Flyers band now...Yer with a real blues

band...." Now that's some funny shit.

I was at this gig, hanging out in the back.
