    Proud New Orleans expat here, just asked my 8 year old kiddo who was playing, and without even looking at the screen, he said “Dat’s Dr. John!” (With a ‘duh’ look on his face) ⚜️

    Every master throughout history has taken a simple theme and then embellished it with endless variety, imbued with a unique spirit, all the while making it seem effortless. All anyone else can hope to do is copy them and achieve a tiny fraction of their original organic improvisation. Thank you Dr. John!

    Sometimes when Dr. John is playing, I can clearly see a boy and his dog playing and growing up together, his sound somehow encompasses the true joys of life.

    Dr. John has such EFFORTLESS control, rock solid timing, and SLIPPERY transitions. I saw him live probably 18 years ago or so with my Dad. We couldn't understand a single word he spoke, but who needs words when you can speak like this ; )

      @eliotguerin192 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@therabidscorpion Yep he did. He kept playing some guitar, but after his finger was shot (!), piano seemed easier. Most of us probably would’ve given up then, but as a teen who was born and raised with reverence toward music, and who didnt have many other options due to a checkered legal past from his youth, it was inevitabe Doc would find any way he could to continue with music

    Absolutely magnificent! All you need is Mac Rebennack and a piano. I've spent so many hours listening to this most beloved artist. When the day comes that he passes away, there had better be a statue of his ass alongside Louis Armstrong, Professor Longhair and James Booker or I'll be one mad m f.

    RIP Mac. I was hooked to Dr John's music from the moment I heard, and watched, him play and sing "Such a Night" on "The Last Waltz" film. An accomplished musician, most of all, a superb pianist/keyboard player, Dr John was an outstanding interpreter of Blues and Cajun music, but also equally at home with jazz and swing. I loved this man, and always will. God bless you Mac.

    I shared this clip with an old friend who is a long-time jazz/blues fanatic, and he replied that it was dull, repetitive and didn't "go anywhere" or build into anything interesting. As a pianist myself I feel it grooves along nicely with interesting little peaks and teases, and resolves well. Just wondered what you other musicians or jazz listeners think? Am I just a deluded fan who's hearing something that's not there? 🤔
