  Beenlistening to this on Youtube. Suitably impressed, so ordered the Blue Note vinyl re-issue. Originals aparently fetch big money.

Hot Tuna ~ First Pull Up Then Pull Down (1971)

 

"First Pull Up, Then Pull Down," the second Hot Tuna album, continued the bands focus on classic blues songs but with a more electrified sound complemented with jazzy licks from violinist, Papa John Creach who also played with the Jefferson Airplane.

You Are There - Roberta Gambarini & Hank Jones

“Roberta Gambarini is a breath of fresh air among female jazz vocalists. Gifted with superb clear diction, a warm engaging voice, and an uncanny ability to bring out the best in each song”

 

“This exceptional vocal/piano duo recording is clearly one for the ages”.

 

          Review by Ken Dryden, AllMusic.com

 

The now late, incomparable, pianist Hank Jones was moved to publicly proclaim her the "best new jazz vocalist to come along in fifty years".

 

Personnel: Roberta Gambarini: vocals; Hank Jones: piano.

 

Released: 2007

 

Streaming on Qobuz

Some gentle Joni M to start the evening.  A good reproduction of her live performance.
