Charles Brown Live in Germany (1991)

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Thanks very much for this. Was lucky to hear Charles Brown at this time at JJ's in Mountain View, with Chris Cain backing. I thanked Charles for all the incredible inspiration he's given me, especially his much jazzier version of the Driftin' Blues He was so friendly and gracious and shook my hand, or rather he enveloped my small hand in his two Connie Hawkins sized hands. I was like "damn they's some big hands". like, twice as big no exaggeration. Look at this vid. His fingers are ridiculously long. I can do some 10ths, but his spread is like two octave plus wide. .

Eddy Clearwater had huge hands too, the largest hand I've ever had the pleasure to shake.

A genuine star and a fabulous backing band. Pure talent all round.

Thanks for posting. There will be only one Charles Brown.

Heaping praise (however well-deserved) on the man, who, for decades, was known as, “The King Of The Blues” is akin to freighting coal to Newcastle. With a rousing tip to Amos Milburne on “Bad, Bad, Whiskey” as single title out of Brown book, this quintet cannot be improved. Production is up to the task, with some excellent split-screen overlay @ 27:00, audio too. Thanks for this wonderful show.

Wonderful video. Really brings back some nice memories of hanging out with this absolutely enchanted man.

After a hot Danny Caron solo, Clifford Solomon kills it on tenor sax, even quoting Benny Golson's Social Call.

Marvelous !

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Saving my Love for You, a beautiful and sadly neglected soul ballad. Absolute top of my list. Love a bluesman with the kind of depth of jazz in his playing to be able to handle a tune like this. With Robben, Chris Cain, Louis Jordan,Lou Rawls, Les McCann, Albert Collins, others and hopefully my playing too, it's the blues that's hanging on the borders with jazz swing gospel funk soul that's most interesting.

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

RAN BLAKE recently released it on his ch, maybe dec. ERMA FRANKLIN has the best version on Bwick lp, 68. Sonny Sanders arrangement.

Speaking of jazz in the blues 13:00 "Centerpiece" the saxman fully quotes the melody.

The only guy in history that makes ray charles seem like a kiddo

[@karlbeck9869]

This guy is awesome! I'm looking for a recording of a song Charles did "If your love kills me baby, please keep me hangin' around, have me stuffed w/cotton & dressed up like your personal clown". Anyone familiar?

[@salesdept537]

Guitarist Danny Caron, saxist Clifford Solomon (I assume).
