Oh wow - where to start - such a back catalogue and introduced me also to so many other artists.

 

What a character and what a legacy.

 

My fav 3 right now: (as is firing them up on the system -will change by next week!)

 

Alligator Boogaloo

Callin All Cats 

and that recording of John Pattons Funky Mama

 

I was lucky enough to have a whole set of videos of him playing along with Lonnie Smith which although not live in person were a pretty close second. Many of them are thankfully on YouTube...talking of which - I have just found this -

Lou also talked about the Birdland date in the movie "It Must Schwing."  He was badmouthing Blakey there too.
