So I am in a new house, I finally moved out of where I was and now am living with a fellow Math Grad student named Dann. It's really nice; we live in a great house in a great location. We've got about a fifteen minute walk to campus and about a 10 minute walk to one of the really hip happenin' spots in Cuse.
But, the downside is Dann knows a lot about blues and I find myself regularly at a loss for what he's talking about when he mentions old blues tunes and it makes me feel inadequate. He mentioned a song at a bar-b-que yesterday that absolutely not a single other person had ever heard of; and when he showed me it actually existed I told him I'd put it on the blog to vindicate him. So without further adieu, here is "Rockin' Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu" by Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns:
And here is a much better version by Johnny Rivers:
And now on to something a little more satisfying. I Think today I will post this concert, available for listening on the NPR website.
Joey Calderazzo and Branford Marsalis at the Newport Jazz Festival 2009
This is Joey Calderazzo (Piano) and Branford Marsalis (Saxophone). Marsalis had actually already performed a gig at the festival with his whole ensemble, but this is just him and Calderazzo, and from what I hear, it is pretty fantastic.
And lastly, a hot blues tune to get you moving on this Saturday morning.
Peace.
