Thank you!!So vintage. Rack of those chops seriously displayed. And Buzz. This is a gem. Long buried. It's the Keep on Movin band. At fucking dawn when people were leaving. The band was itching to play. Had been up all night no doubt. It is the most authentic slice of this particular Butterfield iteration I've ever seen. AT DAWN. Playing "Morning Sunrise."
Sad about David Sanborn. I just entered my 51st year of playing harp (was full-time by age 20) and listened to David Sanborn often, adopted several of his arrangements and tunes for harp. I believe he was 19 at this Woodstock gig. I saw him say in an interview, in the Paul Butterfield documentary movie "Horn from the Heart", that he had never played with a band with such dynamics before or since that this Butterfield Blues Band. That Butterfield "was a force of nature on that instrument". David Sanborn seemed like a very cool person although I never met him in person. Prayers for him & his family.
@@gabrieln3613 your comment about dynamics is what I too was thinking yesterday. A large part has to do with the legendary jazz drummer Phillip Wilson on this gig. Phillip Wilson: just listen to his dynamic range of color and volume cariations on the snare drum and how it puches, prods and breathes with emotional energy in synergy with the band. Listen to all the cuts from the full album. Phillip Wilson was a drumming master no matter the style. He was senselessly murdered on the street in NYC on his 50th birthday.
