  • I consider myself quite fortunate to have enjoyed seeing Ed Blackwell play live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, with George Adams' band.

  • Big stick fumble at 50 seconds.

  • I had the great fortune of playing with Ed Blackwell at Lu and Charlie's in the french Quarter in 1976! He was a great improviser and a jazz legend all over the world.

  • i believe you tianarulez123 and that is one hell of a grandfather

  • @d23myte ed loved his sister she was a big influence on him becoming a drummer she was a tap dancer and he would imitate her with his hands or sticks from there on he would always approach the drums from the perspective of a dancer listen very close and you'll hear ed dances on the drums

  • ed is playing two different time signatures at the same time up to three or four if you count what he dose with the hi-hats and bass drum and he cross hands his solo in between his rhythmic solo he's the only drummer i know where as if you blind fold test other drummers some one is bound to say is that three drummers or four

  • Ed Blackwell was--and still is--The Definitive link between Congo Square and The Congo.One of the most original and consistently musical drummers who ever lived!!

  • His daughter is unjustly incarcerated, serving 20 without parole for killing her abusive boyfriend who was attacking her. Google Nearin Blackwell; I run her My Space and Face Book pages. I wish someone with some money would help her with a decent lawyer.

  • hey Tiana, I'm your mom's friend. Im gonna add this vid to my Facebook

  • @tianarulez123 Are you a drummer??
