Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues
https://youtu.be/VhDhjuj1hag My favourite blues man from Madras, Sir G (Amithav Gautam) and me doing #aintgotnothinbuttheblues. I know #robbenford does a version like this, but this is kind of like me paying homage to #MoseAllison, who was just the finest musician around. Piano, trumpet, singing all so very beautiful. I added a little of me, and […]
