Otis Taylor burns up Telluride Blues and Brews Festival 2009 

@z77442 Thanks, again! That's me on the fiddle. The African Orchestra was a one-time assembly of wonderful musicians, all of whom have previously played with Otis, but never all together. Otis is known for combining musicians from diverse backgrounds to amazing results. This year at Telluride should be another hit. I can't wait! - Anne

Absolutely love Ann Harris! Perfect energy.

This should be named Rising of The Instruments....it's blues gone beyond the possible in blues....Respect for fantastic OT crew....

Excellent! Wish the sound man would have turned up Jason Ricci's harp. Could barely hear him.

Mr. OTIS TAYLOR, MY DAYS ARE SPENT LISTENING TO YOU and YOUR BEAUTIFUL VIOLINIST.💖

Oldest Taylor and his band are the best when it comes to American Roots music 🎼🎶🎻🥁🎺🪕👏👏👏👏👏

Hot as hell! The hand drumming is a funk a thon on it's own, not to mention excellence from every soul on that stage. Mr. Taylor is a genius.

Hey Otis, you are the best!

The amazing band introduces with its rough sound, atmosphere and at the same time the virtuosity of the listeners into a trance - it resembles the legendary concerts of Hendrix and The Cream, what a harmonica and this violinist is Pagannini on a violin - beautiful !!!!!!!!!!

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of these guys before tonight! Thanks for posting this Anne Harris! Five stars - Favorite - Subscribe! ;)

too the 40 dislikes... you must out of your tree ....Weirdos

Need to turn that harmonica way up!

just discovered Otis Taylor today. I am greatful for all his uploads..he is of course underated...

Nice Harmonica Sound Check

Thanks so much, FOGG. Glad you liked it!

@z77442 Yes, I'll be playing with Otis Taylor again at Telluride. I'm from Chicago. See you in the mountains!

This is a new found gold mine for me. Me Taylor you are a fantastic composer.

I’m gonna make a Western Movie just so I can ask Otis if I can use all of his songs in it.

Ann Harris' fiddle strains come from another world and gives me goose bumps! So beautiful together with the AMAZING band. Much Love from New Mexico USA

É tipo de som que dá para ouvir por horas sem perder o embalo. Estremece a alma. Congratulações aos músicos e sonoros aplausos do Brasil. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

The only bluesman that gives me chills! The Real Deal! Seeing him Winthrop, WA Blues Fest July 2013! Long live Otis!

Hammer Music. Bitte noch viel mehr davon. Spitze diese Musiker !!!

Fantastic !!!! The red head bass Goddess is Otis’s daughter. She is multitalented.

Otis rocks. The only blues artist that sends shivers up/down my spine when I listen. Fantastic bluesman!

Fantastic sound and sound very good.👍🙏💯

A new type of music .. I believe they call it trance blues ... Good good stuff

their 2018 tour, pretty sure they hit Paris, France this month?!..Otis Taylor, add in Minneapolis in ‘19 itinerary, (any surrounding state) we’ll get there, no fail! Hopefully John Paul Johnson involved, too!

Thanks for asking. The song is "Mandan Woman" from Otis' "Double V" album.

Avec la musique .toujours

@longtimegone55 Thanks for digging it and spreading the word! I just started playing with Otis in 2008. So far I show up only on his most recent CD, Clovis People Vol 3. I'll have to check out Hamid Drake.

superbe !....j'adore ce groupe, toujours au top....qui est la nana qui tient la basse ? elle déménage dur !

anne harris is reknown

Music. Out of this world. She's an angel - totally in the zone. And the two bongo players. It's all so pure. Joy.

Awesome fiddle work, Anne!

Jason Ricci!

This is a fantastic group.....going to Telluride 2010 this year - to bad I missed last year....Hope you come back - everyone is so talented......

What happened to Jason Ricci's volume!?

süpersinizzzzzzz

Keep up the Beautiful music you guys rock this world😊😊😊😊😊😊🌈💖

Off the scale. Love it😎🙃👍✌

WOWEE!

@bwillie55 Thanks so much for the kind words. Otis will be playing Port Townsend solo so I won't be out for that one.

Otis Taylor and Group I just started listening to Ya'll and CAN'T Get enough of you all Boo Yah

Turn up the poor harmonica

So brilliant ! So rich ! So colourful ! Great band ! Greatings from French Alps, Anne Harris and congratulations...

Class act. Love the blues

I’m watching this in 2022. Just discovered you all, Do you still tour? Phenomenal!!!

Sack the sound engineer, ruined the harp player , what a great band though 😱

Fantastic show. Brutal, raw, thunderous guitar playing, great percussion, outstanding violin solos. Hope they come East soon. Want to see that Cassie Taylor sneer live!! Too good.

Fantastic thanks for good party Otis...Freedom!!!

Think I just watched this for about the hundredth time in recent years ... seriously people this is Classical Music!

😎👍👏

👍👍

❤

So the sound guy at this venue sucked because the harp is turned way down when Anne Harris and Jason Ricci are trading off. You can't hear Jason at all when the band got louder. Rest of the song is awesome, but it was annoying to see Jason Ricci get drowned out the entire time because he's easily one of the best harp players in the world.

Grupo remelecho

Cassie Taylor is killin me. Killing me.The drummers behind Anne Harris can barely hold in their screaming joy they are soooo HAPPY. Lucky lives.

Hey Otis! Are you still living around Boulder?

Cassie taylor shes nice lookin awesome bass player great talent❤

This band rules! Genre: Hot Trance Blues. Cosmic Baby, it’s collaboration time!

Outstanding!

I love Otis Taylor! He was a regular at Telluride Blues and Brews for years and hope he shows up this year. Years ago when I worked for the Festival, Otis had a problem with his acoustic guitar, so I gladly lent him my 62 gibson SJ I bought 47 years ago. He loved my old guitar and I remember what an awesome musician and how personable he was, I forgot about this till this video. His daughter was so young and such an inspiration when she started backing him on Bass as a teen. He has such a unique blend of blues, rock and jam band.

I hear,,JOHN Martin,,Miles Davis,,Stravinsky,,In an all enveloping joyful fabulous swamp mix,!, I just love this band.

Again,Otis ...All sound You gave us...My ..What ever...You are great ..Like muscian...!!!

Mmm Jason is looking painfully thin,!🥴/???

Wicked lick at 9.25,! 🕺🎼🎼🎼🎼

i think jason ricci is actually playing the harmonica not the harp.

too much bass of poor qual. !!!!

A blind man would love this!

Great song wow I can't stop listening to it, Anne Harris is incredible. I'm new to the Otis Taylor Band all these years where the hell was I lol. You have a new fan!!!
