Video of the Week #67

Buddy Guy just makes it under my (arbitrary) 1970 cutoff. This is from Supershow, advertised as the last great jam of the '60s, a 1969 London concert that combined jazz, blues and rock musicians. In the first clip, Buddy plays and sings "Mary Had a Little Lamb," backed by Dick Heckstall-Smith and Chris Mercer, saxophones; Jack Bruce, bass; and Buddy Miles, drums. It is followed by "My Time After a While," with Bruce and Miles.

Here's an unusual pairing from the same show.  Buddy Guy sings "Stormy Monday Blues," accompanied by Rahsaan Roland Kirk on tenor sax (along with his manzello and stritch), Kirk's accompanist Rahn Burton on organ, Bruce on bass and Jimmy Hope on drums.

You can see the entire 71 minute show here. Others featured include Eric Clapton, the Modern Jazz Quartet and Stephen Stills.
