Pinetop Perkins is one of the last of the great Mississippi Bluesmen still performing today. He began playing Blues around 1927 and is a certified piano playing legend. He can unequivocally be classified in the same category as B.B. King, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker as one of the true pioneers of the Delta-to-Chicago Blues genre.'Hot Blues From A Cold Place', is a live-in-the-studio album recorded by Pinetop Perkins in 1991, in Reykjavik, Iceland – of all places. The pianist is as delightful and effervescent as ever on this live/studio outing. The album is an interesting collaboration of cultures. The Icelandic musicians provide an energetic and respectful backdrop for the legendary pianist. Thankfully they do not attempt to duplicate the Chicago Blues sound, but they are brilliantly supportive while projecting their own cultural depth and feelings. Some of the tracks are live and the audience's enthusiasm shines through nicely. Chicago Beau’s harmonica work is at its most effective on 'Got My Mojo Workin'' and 'Just Keep on Drinking'.

BILLY LARKIN & THE DELEGATES - Don't Stop '68
http://www23.zippyshare.com/v/85846950/file.html
During the 1960s soul jazz or organ-jazz became a popular front runner in the world of jazz music with its emphasis on the "groove" usually played by an organist. "Organ Grooves and Soul Brothers: The Best of Billy Larkin and the Delegates" is aptly named as it covers tracks from 6 of his 7 albums recorded for the World Pacific label between 1964 and 1968.
Billy Larkin, organist, and his Delegates, i.e. Hank Swarn, guitarist, Mel Brown, drummer, and Clifford Scott, Texas tenor saxman, are a tight soul jazz organ combo that lay down some memorable killer grooves. This compilation includes some of their best: Pigmy ( parts 1 & 2 ), Killer Joe, G'Won Train, Cuchy Frito Man, On Broadway, Ode To Billie Joe, and Ain't That A Groove. Twenty-four selections were chosen from six of their albums for a total of nearly seventy-four minutes of "groovalicious" grooves laid down by Larkin's Hammond Organ with great accompaniment as evidenced by the superb drumming, skillful guitar comping, and a rich r&b sounding sax.The bass lines never cease beginning with the first groove,The Peeper, to the last, Ode to Billie Joe.
Think of it as a trip through time, the 1960s, when these tunes were at the cutting edge of "what's hip". A very enjoyable trip indeed! Typically, a music style's popularity is frequently fleeting which in turn leads to "all good things come to an end". So with Billy Larkin and the Delegates, as their successful run ended with the demise of soul jazz near the end of the 1960s.
many tanx! for the Pinetop.
Thanks

Joseph William Perkins (July 7, 1913 – March 21, 2011) RIP.
