Al Kooper
His smash hit for Gary Lewis & the Playboys, "This Diamond Ring" reached number one in 1965. He joined Bob Dylan's band in the early 60's and played at the famous Newport Folk Festival in 1965 where Bob Dylan first played electric guitar. (The Dylan 65 recording is available at www.ymskrecordings.com) His famous organ solo on "Like a Rolling Stone" made him a fixture at Dylan concerts, and he continued to tour with Bob Dylan into the 70's.
In 1965 he founded "The Blues Project" in 1965 with Steve Katz and then "Blood Sweat and Tears" also with Steve Katz,(Also available to listen to at www.ymskrecordings.com) produced by Chicago's producer, James William Guercio.
Kooper left the band to be a producer for Columbia Records. It was at this time, he cut the famous record "Super Session" with Mike Bloomfield and Steve Stills.
He continued his session work for major artists until the 80's and now teaches music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and plays weekend concerts with his bands The ReKooperators and The Funky Faculty.
This particular concert catches Al Kooper in Los Angeles, doing a benefit for an unknown group at the small nightclub "The Roxy" off the Sunset Strip. I do not know the benefactor of the concert, but it must have been a big deal because the line up is incredible and includes Dave Mason, Steve Stills, Gene Clark, David Crosby, and Jackson Browne.
If you are remotely curious about the concert, please download Track No. 20, "A Fool for Your Stockings", a ZZ Top song penned by Frank Beard.
What is normally a fairly benign concert takes an incredible turn for the better.
The session guitarist, Howard "Buzzy" Feiten steps out and wails on this cut.
The other band members, David Crosby and Jackson Browne are in utter amazement, and both the band and the crowd can be heard pushing Buzzy on. This particular cut draws the biggest applause of the night, which is saying something. For those of you not in the know, Buzzy was the guitarist for Paul Butterfield, Stevie Wonder, his own group "Full Moon" and more recently with drummer Dave Weckl.
This is an audience recording i just received in trade from my new friend Richie in NY. Thanks.
