Video of the Week #32

This week's video is by Texas bluesman Aaron "T-Bone" Walker, a pioneer of blues electric guitar, playing with Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic in Great Britain in 1966. He sings two songs, "Woman, You Must Be Crazy" and "Goin' to Chicago." Granz does the introduction. A number of jazz legends, such as Dizzy Gillespie and James Moody, stand in the background, but the only soloist (besides Walker) is Clark Terry, playing the mute (!).
