Memphis Slim in Europe with Sonny Boy Williamson II

This is pretty awesome. I don't know the story behind it but its from a European performance, looks like a TV show called JAZZPRISMA.
Go buy their music!

[@plutogamstrumframe]

I met Memphis Slim and shook his hand a real gent , i was fourteen , my dad knew him

[@JB-rw9xt]

Memphis Slim was my introduction to piano boogie woogie blues in the late 70's. Sonny Buy Williamson is one of my favorite all time harmonica players up there with Big Walter and Snooky Pryor.

[@TheDavidfallon]

Slim is so unarguably cool. His piano stylings are delicious, somehow both down-home earthy and big city sophisticated. Matt "Guitar" Murphy is a brilliant soloist and accompanist. His riffs and licks are jewels of precision and invention.

[@j.l.hennig4339]

Matt Murphy was a pretty sophistcated guitar player. It is worthwhile taking a closer look at his style. He and Memphis Slim complement each other beautifully.

[@bartcolen]

Was thinking the same thing. Matt did not play predictably at all. He was very versatile and also had a lot of country in his playing. A good pairing, because Memphis Slim was not straight down the line, either.

[@davidwilmothall]

I caught M.T. at a bar in Atlanta during the early '90s. Someone mentioned it was their friend's birthday that night. In an utterly casual, jaw-droppingly musical instant, he began playing "Happy Birthday" with "The Old Gray Mare She Ain' What She Used to Be" as counter melody. Matt Murphy said Sonny Boy Williamson was a "righteous dude"

[@BENSHILA]

The unknown but very great Billy Stepney on drums.Gone at 38.God bless him

[@bholaoates1542]

Do you know if he's any relation to Charles Stepney of Earth Wind & Fire fame?

[@JiminWestLA]

He played solo in a basement bar in the Latin Quarter of Paris in January 1974.

[@VIN7465]

[@mikkelchandler5503]

I like the way he plays the bass parts on the piano.

[@russjalichandra5491]

Breaks my heart young generations these days don't know who Matt Guitar Murphy is.

[@Quebecoisegal]

Otis Spann was my favorite blues piano player but Memphis Slim sure could play a mean keyboard.

[@petec9686]

Matt Murphy's playing is awesome. So clean.

[@davidherz9968]

thanks for the guitarist's name...

[@petec9686]

@@davidherz9968 did you watch 'The Blues Brothers'? That is him, Matt Guitar Murphy, Aretha Franklin's old man.

[@maxmoves64]

the credits are either dutch or german but the gig is 100% blues and so cool. Great upload. Thanks.

[@roberthaufrecht5410]

Saw Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon at Carnegie Hall with Pete Seeger....a long time ago.

[@rogervallebluesvalle9889]

This is real music. The black musicians taught the Blues to the white musicians, that´s right.

[@danielpoursac6931]

encore une très bonne composition de Blues j'adore

[@fordsrestorations970]

My gosh these cats are straight-up getting it..... sorry people but these are the real guys , and actually I don't have to listen too much any of the newer stuff cuz I never get tired of the Originals. Oh yes there are some fantastic musicians today but nothing like the original cats...

He'd crap his pants if he knew he'd be getting watched on a phone that you hold in your hand on an app called "youtube" by 15 bikers getting drunk and smoking buds watching it via blue tooth with a 70-inch tv that hangs on the wall.
