  5. Name that Song

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    Please help me find the name of this song, I've scoured the net trying to figure it out but I'm just going crazy.

    Link here

    You can find this tune on the CD "Tourist" of St. Germain (click on the link). On the cover, the title is Sure Thing.

    The original is what rostasi said : John Lee Hooker (taken from the soundtrack to "Hot Spot", by M. Davis, J.L. Hooker, A. Cooper, T. Mahal and R. Rogers).

    That's a great album of electro-jazz, pure "French touch", really interesting. That's a real pleasure to listen this album in my car while driving in Paris :) .

    Do yourselves a favor and pick this up !

    Davis is indeed from Kansas City, but, after a stint in Europe, took a job here at the University of Pittsburgh, where's he's taught for 35 years. At the time he took the job, his musician friends thought he was crazy - but now jazz musicians at colleges are fairly common. A pioneer! Rarely plays here in town - you're more likely to catch him in London or Brazil! His annual concert here is a highlight - this year it was Payton, Tolliver, Spaulding, Moody, Coryell, Rosness. I'm lukewarm on his records, but think he's playing better than ever.

  25. Mike Hennessey's 'Klook'

    Brownie,

    I agree with mikeweil's statement.

    I've read the book in English (from the library).

    Mike Hennessey sent me a German reedition a few months ago "Erinnerungen an Klook. Das Leben von Kenny Clarke", including corrections and some fine previously unpublished photographs from the Campi collection. There is also a CD-Rom joined to the book containing a very exhaustive discography of Kenny Clarke by Dr. Michael Frohne (a still-in-progress work). But I wonder why the German translation has no index. There is an index in the English version. I find it indispensable.
