Of all these Rollins recordings, Night at the Village Vanguard is the only one that was recorded live.


Phenomenal performance imo.

Man, the Instagram algorithm really knows what to recommend - had never heard of this guy before - R.L. Burnside



This is the blues. I used to think Leadbelly was the blues, and he is bluesy, but this feels even more earthy and raw - this is gum-to-teeth blues. An amazing find, for me. :)

Good stuff. He was discovered quite late in life.

Also check out Robert Belfour and Junior Kimbrough who had similar career trajectories and discovered by the same label.

Yeah, the other two names popped for me when I went to Bandcamp. :-)

Truly amazing how much music is probably lost to us, and it is really only luck that we were able to capture this magic - too bad ethnomusicology is far too often one of the first programs cut.

Nice set! I talked with Shannon Powell a few times when I lived in New Orleans.

Oh how cool! (And how cool that you spent time in New Orleans, one of my favorite places.)

Doing a little search of recent news, I see he had a stroke last year, which makes me doubly grateful for sets like last night.

This is what I have until they either release the Waltz For Deby and Sunday At albums without duplicate tunes programmed in succession or I find the full 4-cd set, which I've never even seen in physical form.

With this disc you get ten of the twelve tracks from the two original lps.

Thanks for the reminder. I used to listen to Zbigniew Namysłowski a lot back in the 70s, those were my early years getting hooked on jazz.
