I've had my musical feet firmly planted in roots music for a while - rocking blues tends to be my preference. But to go way back to my early concert going experiences I was always blown away by Ian Anderson's mastery of the flute in his legendary band Jethro Tull.
Now this CD has caught my ear as well for the awesome jazzy and wild "riffs" of not only Derek Trucks but Kofi Burbridge. Especially on Afro Blue and Rasta Man Chant.
Bringing me back to a bit of my youthful love of that fine instrument played masterfuly in a rock/blues/jazz/world fusion here that is very tasty indeed.

That was sweet Snowbird. I just watch Crosswords from last summer Sunday. What an honor for the DTB to back all the talent early in the day. Derek and the Bassist had huge smiles on their faces the whole set. You knew they were thinking what are we doing on this stage? Speaking of bassist..what about the young lady who plays with Jeff Beck. Wow

That bassist for Jeff Beck had the ENTIRE crowd talking about her..."who is THAT GIRL"...."Is that Jeff Beck's daughter?"..."she is AMAZING"!! come to find out she is a phenom and reminds me a bit of back when Derek first started out. You can google her to find out more. I never knew much about Jeff Beck-he was one Hubby was really looking forward to and enjoyed...I did enjoy but not as much as others.
That bassist for DTB...he smiles like that every gig the ENTIRE TIME...he is so fun to watch. You can just see him thinking THIS IS THE GREATEST JOB!!
