Norway 1977 - Muddy Waters with [edit] Jerry Portnoy[/edit], Willie Big Eyes Smith, Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin - I've never seen this video before. 38 minutes of the real deal. It just doesn't get any better.
I love Jerry Portnoy's playing. He doesn't seem to get his due, though. I think this video is a masterclass in Chicago Blues accompaniment playing. A great ensemble player! ---------- http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/pages/Bourbon-Bleach/161722307208585
Buy the DVD on Hip-o Records released by Reelin in the Years Productions-three full concerts including Newport Jazz Festival,Copenhagen Jazz Festival,and the Molde Jazz Festival with bonus footage including interviews at the Old Grey Whistle Test and Molde,never seen before "The Blues Had a Baby and They Named it Rock &Roll" from Engalnd 1977-Copenhagen features Paul Oscher on harp- Muddy Waters Classic Concerts- http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6999964&style=movie
Ever wonder what Muddy would do if you started Gypsy Woman in the wrong key? 14:20, 100% hilarious, the reaction from Muddy and Margolin. JP gets kudos for the seriously quick harp change.
