Of all of the incredible piano players to come from New Orleans, this man was the greatest. And that is no small feat when you have Jellyroll Morton, Tuts Washington, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint et al.
His grandfather taught piano to Jellyroll Morton, and then James himself taught Harry Connick Jr.

@moseseseseses Booker died about 10 days after this was recorded.

@wilburevans there's an old Jazzfest video where Booker is playing with a very young Connick [maybe 12]. I'm trying to lay my hands on it.

@MrBluetriggz I believe it's called Seagram's Jam.

My skeleton just jumped out of my body to make a sandwich. Twice. Booker's DNA better show up again soon or music is in trouble.

@dogheadio Are you 100% certain about the date he died? Do you know the date?....is my question. If you're sure, do you mind telling the source? I'm not tryin to give you the 3rd degree.I've loved his music for about 30 yrs.I haven't heard much about this performance,but hearsay.Thanx for uploading this!

Not at all certain, but it seems I am a year ahead ,James Carroll Booker the 3rd ,according to Wikipedia died November the 8th 1983, it also confirms that he died 10days after the clip I have broadcast(Seagrams)which is what the guy introducing it said. The clip came from a US Music Documentary 'New Orleans Now' best I can do
