Blue Lou is one of my favourite tunes. Unfortunately seldom heard these days.
Great job by always dependable Bob Cranshaw. He knows what a bass player should sound like and he always delivers.

These are great musicians who could do this in their sleep.

Hawk died just 2 months after this famous March 1969 concert (not 11/66), which was some of his best playing in 4 years.

The November 26, 1966 date is correct.
