James Booker - 'True' ᴴᴰ
Показать описание
James Booker performing "True" at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1978. This is an excerpt from the recently released documentary, "Bayou Maharajah," which I would recommend to anyone that has any interest in Booker, or even just piano in general. Just an amazing look into the life and music of a troubled virtuoso.
This is not the full song, there's about 2 minutes missing.
The song was originally written by Louis Cottrell and Don Albert, and recorded by Paul Gayten in 1947. James, as he does with many songs, takes a whole of lot of creative liberties in his interpretation.
Here's a pretty interesting BBC radio piece on this very performance (featuring an interview with Bayou Maharajah director Lily Keber):
