Robben Ford -- The Paris Concert (Blu-ray)

PRODUCT DETAILS

Robben Ford, who lives in California, is one of the most important guitarists on the scene. He grew up with soul from Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin and with blues rock from Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield. Even as a 20 year old, he had the reputation of being a “musician’s musician”. Everyone wanted to have him in their band. So, one after another, he played with Joni Mitchell, LA Express, Miles Davis, Little Feat, George Harrison and so on. In 1977 he was one of the founders of Yellowjackets. Then, as the nineties started, he left the jazz scene and returned to his roots in the blues.

A whole series of magnificent albums show that this was exactly the right decision, as does the New Morning - The Paris Concert BD. This electrifying concert was recorded in May 2001 in the “New Morning” club in Paris, one of the most important European jazz clubs. The packed house experienced Robben Ford in peak form. It was a truly classy performance on the stage that night. Accompanied by Louis Pardini (keyboards), Jimmy Earl (bass) and Brannen Temple (drums) Robben Ford showed every facet of his furious guitar playing. With numbers like “Start It Up“, “Moonchild Blues“, “Deaf, Dumb And Blind“ or “You Got Me Knockin’“ the virtuoso excelled himself and played blues rock which simply can’t be bettered.
