Keep saying his name. Charles Fambrough was a prodigious bassist, composer, and bandleader who left us much too soon.
Playing him tonight.

A few sets of music from John Hammond’s From Spirituals to Swing concerts of December 1938 and ‘39 this Saturday night. Here’s Joe Turner and Pete Johnson. I think Jerry Lee Lewis was familiar with Joe Turner’s approach.

He sounds great on Brisket for Breakfast with an Atlanta-based piano player whose name escapes. Alterman? Anyhow, it’s in the last couple of years, so he’s somewhere around 90 but still playing a LOT.
Oh yeah. She’s so good.
Died in my hometown, which was doubly sad
Preach
That’s a dinner designed not to get in the way of some good drink.
Amen
I first heard Mr Ross and his brother onstage in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago 15 or so years ago. Nothing Joel has offered up since has changed my opinion that he is a bad dude. Calling this After The Wind this week after yesterday’s crazy weather.
