Video of the Week #47

There are a number of Muddy Waters videos available, most of them from his later years. You can see his performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, but the fidelity is poor. This is my favorite early video. Muddy plays slide guitar on "Long Distance Call" from the 1968 Copenhagen Jazz Festival. The rest of the group is Otis Spann, piano; Paul Oscher, harmonica; Pee Wee Madison, guitar; Sonny Wimberley, bass; and S. P. Leary, drums.
