Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz standard recorded live at Blues Fest.
Joe Lee was there at the beginning of Blues Fest in 1991 and he continued playing at Blues Fest for many years. There was this one time in 1998 when he brought Kenny Caldwell to play with him and I got to record some very fine jazz indeed.
Kenny Caldwell played with the Bill Black Combo. I only met him once, that day at Blues Fest, but some of my friends, Joy Sanford and Richard Murray, played in his band for his regular gig at the Holiday Inn. He was a jazz master guitarist, as good as anyone.
So getting to record him with Joe Lee was fantastic. Joe Lee was born in Inverness, Mississippi, but he spent most of his life in the Jonesboro area. He played with Mose Allison in Mississippi, was a top session man in Memphis, and then produced and recorded records at Fernwood working with Scotty Moore and Bill Black.
