The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Jimmy Jones, jazz pianist extraordinaire and Jimmy Jones, R&B singer most famous for his 1960 hit Handy Man. Damn, forgot about him. There are about a trillion music people called Jimmy Johnson. 1 West Coast blues guitarist - writer of the song 'Don't answer the door' which B B King covered a few years later. 2 Chicago blues guitarist - recorded a few albums for Delmark. 3 Jazz guitarist, worked on albums such as Shirley Scott's 'Soul saxes', 'Something', King Curtis' 'Great Memphis hits' and David Newman's 'Weapon'. 4 Jazz drummer - worked on Newman's 'Mr Fathead', Billy Butler's 'Night life' and 'Yesterday, today & tomorrow', Boogaloo Joe Jones' 'Black whip', Jack McDuff's 'Lift every voice' & Reuben Wilson's 'Set us free'. 5 R&B singer - lead singer with the Jayhawks ('Stranded in the jungle'). 6 Engineer at Fame Studios, Muscle Shoals. 7 Pop bass player. 8 Composer of 'Charleston'. 9 Another composer - co-writer of Erskine Hawkins' massive hit, 'Don't cry baby' - maybe same as 8, maybe not; different generation. 10 Tenor player in Duke/Peacock studios early 50s.

BillF Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm not pleased when enquiries about West Coast pianist Carl Perkins direct me to a different sort of music entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 There are two Chester Thompsons, and I keep getting them mixed up. One is a jazz organist, who recorded the LP 'Powerhouse' for Black Jazz. The other is a drummer, who worked with Weather Report. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted O'Reilly Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wilbur Bascomb - trumpet player in the Erskine Hawkins band (also worked on a number of soul jazz alnums in 60s and 70s) Wilbur 'Dud' Bascomb - bass player MG I think "Dud" is the trumpet player, and the bassist is Wilbur Jr. I think... The senior Bascomb's brother was Paul, a tenor player in the Hawkins band, and the Bascomb credited on Tuxedo Junction. I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 There's a Steve Davis (bass) and Steve Davis (trombone). I once saw a drummer with that name playing at Visiones. Don't know much about him. Bertrand. There is a third Steve Davis, a drummer who has played and recorded often with Lyne Arriale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The senior Bascomb's brother was Paul, a tenor player in the Hawkins band, and the Bascomb credited on Tuxedo Junction. I think... I'm confused, too. I've got albums that describe each as 'Dud' and some that describe the bass player as 'Bad'. Both Paul and Wilbur were in the Hawkins band. MG Jimmy Jones, jazz pianist extraordinaire and Jimmy Jones, R&B singer most famous for his 1960 hit Handy Man. I noticed another Jimmy Jones today. The producer and composer of some of the tracks on Syl Johnson's groundbreaking soul album 'Is it because I'm black' in 1969 - first political concept album in soul music.

robertoart Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Are there not two George Benson's? One a reed player I believe. Jesse 'Ed' Davis was one of my very favourite guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Joe Thomas. Far too many to keep track of. Bill Harris (the trombonist, and the guitarist). There's a new release from someone named Johnny Hodges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
