tooter Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I am keen to know the title of a blues tune played by Ronnie Ross in Holland a few years back. I'm sure I've heard it before but can't place the title. Can anyone help? Very small sample attached I hope - just seeing if I can get it to workUnknown_blues_sample.mp3.

Christiern Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Blues March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Blues March? The Benny Golson tune? No, 'fraid not. Thanks for trying though, and to all the others who have listened so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) It sounds a lot like one of the grooves that the Ray Charles Band used to play, but I can't place the exact riff. It does sound quite a bit like the riff on Blues March. Edited June 27, 2008 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just played a version of Blues March by Sonny Stitt through but couldn't find anything like a "riff" - just two sixteen bars sections for the melody. It does sound completely different to the tune I'm having trouble with. My familiarity with Ray Charles output is minimal, I'm afraid.

JSngry Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sounds like a slight variant of the blues Miles used to play, uh... what was it..."No Blues"? The one w/Hank on Someday My Prince Will Come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Here is a slightly longer sample but at lower bit rate to fit. nk_blues.mp3 Since its 100 kb per upload, how about making several 100 kb uploads, in order? I agree it sounds like pfrancing but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than that, you can go to http://ronnierossmusic.blogspot.com/ and download the whole of the track, or the album if you wish - it's the Naaldwijk one, at the top so far. There is a choice of FLAC or MP3 too. This is from an email from the the local who so kindly supplied the music:- "Ronnie played his first concert here in the 'Winkeltje' café in the village of Naaldwijk . He was resplendent in a kind of white boiler suit with broad patent leather harness. I attach a photo taken at that concert." The photo has been used for the cover although unfortunately the patent leather harness cannot be clearly seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 No Blues "No Blues" - yes! By Miles Davis. I've only got one version, by Horace Parlan, not Miles, but I knew I'd heard it before. Thank you all. That concludes matters here but I'm sure you'll all be welcome at the Ronnie Ross Music blog anyway - http://ronnierossmusic.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
