BLUES AT MONTREUX THE LEGENDARY ALBUM.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE LIVE BLUES ALBUMS.THIS IS WHAT JAMMING IS ALL ABOUT. RECORDED IN JUNE 1971.KING CURTIS WAS OVER IN MONTREUX AS ARETHA FRANKLIN'S MUSICAL DIRECTOR / BAND LEADER.HE MET CHAMPION JACK DUPREE AND THEY DECIDED TO RECORD A SET OF BLUES SONGS TOGETHER.THIS IS THE SESSION AND WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE IT IS.I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO OF THE SHOW ON YOU TUBE,ITS TERRIFIC.THE BAND CONSISTING OF CORNELL DUPREE(NO RELATION TO JACK)ON GUITAR,JERRY JEMMOTT BASS,OLIVER JACKSON DRUMS,AND KING CURTIS TENOR AND ALTO SAXOPHONES.CHAMPION JACK DUPREE HAS THAT SPECIAL RAW VOCAL SOUND THAT REALLY KICKS.KING CURTIS'S SAXOPHONE IS REALLY OUT OF THIS WORLD,NOT LONG AFTER THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED,KING CURTIS WAS STABBED TO DEATH IN NEW YORK ON FRIDAY 13TH OF AUGUST BY A DRUG ADDICT OUTSIDE IS HOUSE.WHAT A GREAT LOSS IT WAS TO THE MUSIC WORLD.SPECIAL MUSICIANS ONLY COME ALONG EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER KING CURTIS.CHECK OUT ALL HIS OTHER GREAT C.Ds ON AMAZON.BRIAN SAXOPHONE JONES.
