"Singin' Da Blues" - Joe Williams & Joe Turner

[@harri2626]

Even in his last year, and obviously in bad health, Big Joe still had incredible tone and force. We'll never hear his like again.

[@grammyj17988]

~ too bad Joe Williams wasn’t himself on hear🤨

[@danyelnicholas]

Exactly, he was a mythological giant. The authority of his phrasing is unreal. Even dwarfed the incredible Williams.

[@littledevil2036]

The king of rythm blues the one and only big joe turner 😍😍😍😍😎🙏🙏

[@johngiovine8792]

We love you Big Joe, and you too Mr, Williams!

[@miraclebigevent142]

Someone here has to find out who has the original special, TV show etc. and get the producers to put this on HD or 4K TV. This is a national treasure, an international treasure of popular music in the 20th Century... or any Century. Thanks for posting!

[@desperatetimes5873]

I think they did this at Carmello's around 1983. I was there with Sweets. Ran into Jimmy Smith and Jerome Richardson. They made a documentary of this performance. Many in L.A. music scene were there. Carmello's was a great jazz club.

[@TheAnnaFisher]

Gerryk King, they've been waiting for you but sadly, it was the only timing you ever missed. Bless you and your magnificent and humungous loving and generous spirit, your touch was evident to all who had a chance to HEAR IT! You've helped me up and made life less to fear it. Thanks Brother for linking this up in your short time hear, it will forever be sacred and we'll forever CHEER IT!

[@aclifford652]

I wish his 73' ( or 74'?) session with Count Basie trio had been filmed.

[@jazztradition]

WOW! Thank you for making my night!

[@alandale581]

Sacred.

[@thomasjesser1464]

Singing the blues

[@ndarana1]

Wooooow!

[@cecilshaw6915]

Great!!

[@Nick-c6-n]

Joe прекрасный крунер, лучший певец джаза в 60е годы, я это помню очень хорошо. Спасибо блогер за истопичесеую память о великих джазменах..

[@YevgeniyLamba]

Тут все таки два легендарных блюзмена. Другое дело что они всегда выступали с джазовыми составами. Биг Джо легенда, но все таки актуален он был в 40-50ые, в 60-е блюз интересен был в основном в Европе, до тех пор пока британцы не сделали из этого рок музыку, и снова до блюза никому не было дело до 80-ых годов, когда пошла ностальгия по 50ым .

[@VelhoDelta]

Amazing !!!!

[@1Dougloid]

Stunning.

[@morrisnelms]

Joe Turner is singing without teeth here. WOW!

[@danyelnicholas]

without teeth, maybe, with more bite than anybody, certainly!

[@777morgan3]

stands the test of time comin from chi town

[@bobdillaber1195]

This is just plain bad, bad stuff! The feel is so solid, down and downright dirty. Some talent can never be equalled.

[@sdavid2415]

[@DaymanChildress-s8z]

Big Joe Williams got andcan deliver the blues

[@danielaltshuler1195]

Two masters later in their lives at work!

[@WPM_in_ATL]

The "Wig" was no slouch either...and need I say anything about "Sweets"?

[@miraclebigevent142]

What TV show did this come from? I'd buy the whole show for this. I've been lucky enough to see and hear Joe Williams a few times and Joe Turner a couple of times. God bless them.

[@giggeezer]

Big Joe gummin' that song . . .

[@Belrivers]

This music is so sexy.

[@liammcooper]

Ha, couldn't recognize Joe Turner with a mic in his hand

[@sylviacarter6733]

Oh My goodness 😂

[@michaelwoldman6646]

What gives the blues is when I try playing with so called "blues men" who never heard real blues and don't even know how it feels.

[@stewartfenton7660]

I don't know much about jazz, is that Joe Williams the jazz singer? Because I'm sure it's not Big Joe Williams the blues singer.

[@jimbrown1559]

This is Joe Williams, who grew up in Chicago, became a star when he joined the Basie band in the mid-'50s. This is blues in the Kansas City tradition, and the Basie band brought that sound to the world when they left Kansas City for New York in 1936-37. The trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison came up in that band, became a jazz star, and worked off and on with the band for several decades. He was a favorite of Frank Sinatra, and his distinctive sound can be heard on many of Sinatra's recordings. "Big Joe Williams came from the Delta blues tradition, and is a generation older than this Joe Williams. Joe Turner was one of the great blues shouters, and this is a great example of his art. The other members of this band were Los Angeles studio musicians.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@jimbrown1559 thanks Jim, I knew the name, but assumed Joe Williams was the same sort of age as the other two Joes. Good singer (well he would be I guess). Been a Joe Turner fan fifty years, he sounds as good as ever here and still smiling, hurts to see him obviously not well. But I gather he lived life on the road to the full, and we can't all be Keith or Willie.

[@josephd8814]

Joe Turner died the following year 1985

[@gynack]

I notice that Joe Williams doesn't seem to sing smoothly through phrases but chops them up, often with spoken words, which completely spoils the flow of the songs he sings. He has such a good voice too. Big Joe Turner is the more convincing singer here.
