• "The jam session that Alvin Jett
and Matt Davis hold every Tuesday at Highway
61 in Webster Groves is in danger of going under.
This is a very cool and laid back jam session for musicians
of all levels of talent. Students of all ages are welcome
and are encouraged to hone their craft. The gig is from
7:30pm to 11:30, so it is early enough for those in
school and with day jobs to get their groove on and
still get up the next morning. There is also no cover
charge. The last show is scheduled for Tuesday, June
19. We still have a few weeks left to show the owner
that the jam session at Highway 61 Roadhouse & Kitchen
is of value to the community."
Thanks, Frank Bauer

• CHICAGO BLUES HARMONICA LEGEND CAREY
BELL 1936 - 2007Blues
harmonica master Carey Bell died on May 6, 2007 of heart
failure in his hometown of Chicago, IL. He was 70. Bell
- the 1998 winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional
Male Artist Of The Year - was a veteran of both Muddy
Waters' and Willie Dixon's bands as well as an award-winning
solo artist, and a guest artist on countless blues recordings.
Bell's classic, funky and deeply soulful blues place
him firmly on the short list of blues harmonica superstars.

• Jazzfest weekend 2, days 2 & 3.
Blues skies and warm weather were the order of the weekend,
and there was little evidence there had been
any rain at all! The caliber and diversity
of music is what makes this event so amazing, and this
year was no different. Highlights that
come to mind are J. Monque' D, the Allman Brothers,
Steely Dan, and closing with Taj Mahal. A
world class event like this is something everyone must
do, and repeat as often as necessary!

• Jazzfest weekend 2, day 1. STLBlues
braved the 1st 3 hours of the torrential rains (5 1/2"),
being the seasoned fest warriors we are. When the midway
path around the Acura stage became a river 50' wide
and 3' deep, and a couple on an inflatable couch floated
on by, we called it a day! Of course, as soon as we
left the fest grounds the skies let up and the music
resumed! They take this in stride down here in the Big
Easy, and tell us the weather will be great tomorrow!
(Tab Benoit and Rockin' Dopsie at the Rock N' Bowl helped
fill that musical void very nicely!)

• "I had a chance to preview
Los Lonely Boys cover of John Lennon's "Whatever
Gets You Thru The Night" - this song will be part
of an all-star line-up of artists featured on Instant
Karma: The Campaign To Save Darfur. LLB's rockin'-Texican
blues version is outstanding! Buy the CD just for this
song!" ~ Cornbread
