Well this is awesome. I want to get more into Blues, now I have recommendations!

I have a really boring one:

Coltrane's 'My Favorite Things.'

Honestly I don't enjoy his noodling on the sax as much as the piano.

Portland Oregon is a great blues town. Robert Cray and Curtis Salgado are from here and masters of the blues. Curtis has done more R&B lately but a great blues artist none the less. I have always been a BB King fan ( we both have Sept. 16th birthdays ) :cheer:. Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy are also some of my favorites. I could go on and on as there are too many greats. However most of the real old legends are passing away slowly and soon all the masters will be gone.

More of a hard bop guy myself, but it was awesome seeing some awesome blues/jazz stuff here. Nice going.:thumbup:

 

[lytehouse]

At Last - Etta James

still gives me goosebumps

Eric Clapton isn't primarily blues but close enough. This is my favorite reworked blues/jazz tune that wasn't originally so. Layla
