T-Bone Walker



Circa 1966 - James Moody and Zoot Sims on saxophones, Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Teddy Wilson on piano, Louie Belson on drums.

There are few players who can both sing and play equally well at this level of music. Hendrix, Clapton, although I wouldn't put him in the same class, maybe B.B. King. T-Bone was a marvel, sweetest tone and voice. Beautiful cat.
