Joe Muscara Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I just came up in iTunes, and I'm tripping to it right now- How about Since I've Been Loving You on Led Zeppelin III. I know most people don't think of keys when they think of LZ, but JPJ is a killer keyboard player (and not a bad bassist, either! ). "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

skydogg Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Bruce Katz is very good. Some albums are straight blues like Mississippi Moan. You can check out a range of MP3s at his site. Your band mates probably want you to play somehing like this on slow blues? http://www.brucekatzband.com/mp3s/mississippimoan.mp3 http://www.brucekatzband.com/mp3s/A_Deeper_Blue/02%20Greasy%20Sticks.mp3 http://www.brucekatzband.com/mp3s/three_feet.mp3 I liked him with Ronnie Earl and I liked him solo. He does some nice Gospel/Jazz/Blues mash ups too. Mississipi Moan is pretty much blues. Wow. Thanks for this tip. I'm new to the keyboard world, so I'm still learning the names of the masters. Mr. Katz is amazing. http://www.junkbelly.org http://www.facebook.com/junkbelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S_Gould Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 What about Lee Michaels? Scott P.S. I was privileged to play some organ with Lucky Peterson (when he picked up the guitar) a few years back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicale Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Check out the B side of Gimme Some Lovin (Winwood). The tune is called Blues in F. Quite likely one of the best and most original Hammon works recorded, and it's from about 1966 -67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Nathan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 for my buddy Reese Hard to find, but if you can dig up any Dick Kermode, or Jimmie Calire (on any of the recordings of 60s group Raven), you'll hear two of my strongest influences. You might like that guy on Tony Joe White's "Closer to the Truth" Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3keys Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 +1 for Steve Winwood! Also check out Susan Tedeschi Live from Austin TX CD/DVD. I also like Brendan O'Brien's organ work on Bob Dylan's MTV Unplugged Set. Very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbnm098 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Steve, funny you mentioned Jimmie Calire. He lives in my little town here in So Cal (Ojai), and I've been watching him play at various little places in town for the last 20+ years. He's a monster on both piano and B-3, and can switch to sax and wail as well. Didn't know many people know him outside of here!..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been years since I've heard him play, and while he's better known these days as (drummer) Mario's dad, or that guy who was in (70s folkrock band) America, when I was coming up in Buffalo, Jimmy Calire was the sh*t. I learned as much from watching and listening to him (and Stan Szelest) as I did from Jimmy Smith & Ray. His band Raven with Gary Mallaber, Jon Weitz, Tony Galla and Tommy Callandra was the cream of Buffalo R&B, and later the house band for legendary 60s club, Steve Paul's "Scene". zxcvbnm098, If you run into him at all, please tell him I said hello and thanks for everything I ever stole from him Ask him about my other reference Dick Kermode too. He'll remember him from back before Janis Joplin and verify his coolness. Buffalo, NY in the late 50s & 60s was really something special as far as growing up musical. I was especially lucky to have a father who regularly took his toddler out (often to pretty rough joints ) to hear great players. Lucky Peterson (mentioned above) is about my age, and was billed as "Little Lucky" the 4 year old wonder when my dad took me to his dad's club on the East side. At 12, I got to stand at the side of a stage (in full view of the B ) just a couple of feet from Jimmy Smith Don't rush me.

Steve Nathan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Had to go to page 2 to bump the thread. I guess this is a short list, but perhaps more on target of the OP's intent, I remembered the great Bill Doggett. Worth checking into, especially from the old "Honky Tonk" days. Speaking of Honky Tonk, it's a master lesson in shuffle comping. Don't rush me.

dp2 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I didn't notice anyone mention James Taylor (the one from the UK into acid jazz), although some of his stuff might be a little too jazzy for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbnm098 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Steve, I have heard the Buffalo scene was a great one from him. I believe Raven has done two reunion shows fairly recently. PM me if you would like his contact info. I'm sure he'd like hear from you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
