Je me souviens d'un concert d Helen Merrill à Paris au New Morning . En trio avec Aaron Goldberg et Georges Mraz. Pas de batteur. Salle à moitié vide. J avais honte pour les absents. Ils avaient tort
I've loved "Steve's Song," for over 57 years. The Blues Project was one of the greatest bands of the Sixties. "I may see your shadowed image on my wall As staring, laughing, grieved by your indifference I would rather feel the pain than none at all"
PREFER ANITA a lot. And Irene. And Rosie. And Chris. The black ladies are far superior ...4 obvious reazons ..A great-lookin woman, but can t even stay in the key here. Also the comp is weird as if behind.
I saw this band in a local club in South Wales in 1969, and a friend of mine was the DJ on the night so i was invited backstage and met the band i invited them to a party after the gig the drummer Dave Bidwell wanted to come but had to go to a gig some distance away and couldn't get transport if he didn't go with the band so he gave me his phone number and told me to give him a ring if i was ever in London, so a little while after myself and a couple of friends called in on him at his flat near Portobello Road and spent the day with him and his beautiful girlfriend, a really lovely guy and some great times
An excellent singer (who I didn't know), Trudy Peters managed to sing magnificently despite the excess of notes from the (brilliant) Bud Powell. This display at the piano was unnecessary. This singer's talent saved this beautiful standard.
