kh1958 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 This arrived today and I'm listening now, Magic Sam at the Avant Garde June 22, 1968--Newly released on Delmark. With Big Mojo Elem on bass and Bob Richey on drums. It's by a wide margin the best quality live Magic Sam recording released to date. Recorded by Jim Charne, 18 at the time. Thank you very much--it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Will have to get this, even though I prefer Magic with horns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, while not a perfect recording, the detail of his guitar playing is captured more clearly here than on the studio recordings. Bass and drums are sufficiently audible and balanced with the guitar, and the vocals are mostly clearly captured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
