Ball and Chain is mesmerizing; there is so much feeling and emotion in her performance that you know it comes from deep in the heart. I loved how the camera focused on her legs and feet.

Has anyone heard of a group called the Prime Movers Blues Band? I came across this entertaining YouTube channel where the host, among other records, discussed an album by them reissued by Sundazed. From the little I read about them, they were a Paul Butterfield-influenced group. He discusses the record around the 3:50 mark. He also discusses a Gabor Szabo récord later in the video

Thanks for that. A big thanks actually. The one I saw was the original version, around 80 or 90 minutes. I saw the expanded 2017 version has two hours of additional performances including Blues Project, Electric Flag, more Big Brother, etc. so that was an easy decision to order it.

I watched The Monterey Pop Festival film today. I had never seen it before. The standout performances for me were Janis Joplin and Big Brother, and the extended Ravi Shankar piece. What marred the movie was its brevity, which made it choppy. I don’t think we’ll ever get an extended film but it would be nice if Rhino could give the Festival the same treatment it gave to Woodstock. Probably never see that either.

Thanks for mentioning this. It’s on Amazon Prime. Will be watching it later.

I completely agree but groups like the Stones (in their early stuff) also helped.

An important recording for rock blues.

I have the Jefferson Airplane Woodstock vinyl set from Real Gone and I think it sounds great.

Yesterday would have been Paul Butterfield’s birthday. On the anniversary of his birth, JazzTimes republished the following article: Paul Butterfield: Origins of an Originator

A fantastic film about the Stasi in East Germany five years before the Wall fell

Discs 1 and 2 this weekend.

No, the old one. Need to order the new one.

My favorite is the later Benny Golson or Wayne Shorter lineup.

It wasn’t clear from your original post what your point was. At any rate, there are other photos in the Mosaic book that look like it’s just from the trio session. If you have her book, perhaps it shows the trio sessions.

Having listened to a couple of the cds, that is true. Not a lot of fireworks going on.

Yes, she took photos of the session.

Have you read the lyrics of Jewish Princess? Hardly complimentary.

Most of the Mosaic features Barney Kessel and Ray Brown. The portion I listened to on disc 1 was excellent, in my opinion. From the Mosaic YouTube site:
