REVIEW: |
Here a new series that intends to present the shows that happened in
1992-1993 in the States; Tumbling Dice is a combo whose line up was set up to
play some music that is often left to the jam sessions occasions in Florida.
They were Mick Taylor on guitar, Bobby Keys on sax, Nicky Hopkins on keyboards,
Fuzzy Samuels on bass and John Lorry on drums and were billed as Tumbling Dice.
The recordings are soundboards and offer proof of the great sounds achieved
during that period, with many instrumental tunes and standard blues songs
played with confidence in three different venues. Taylor guitar is let loose
and the concerts always start with Freddie King Hideaway. Bobby Keys sax is
given more room than often in many concerts and has his solo spot during breaks
in songs like Mercy Mercy written by Joe Zawinul for Cannonball Adderly. Also,
Nicky Hopkins has a chance to showcase his many different influences in an
instrumental called Edward, his nickname, that presents many familiar piano
themes with the help of Taylor bluesy approach that underline his special
keyboard work, we feel or remember music passages that belonged to Quicksilver
Messenger Services or even appear in some great jam albums like Jamming with
Edward. An instrumental by King Curtis Soul Serenade follows with Bobby Keys
lead sax paving the way for this great ambient tune. The set ends with Can’t
You Hear Me Knocking which has Hopkins on piano and Keys on sax leading the way
and in the middle it has a total different approach even to Taylor solo
treatment of the song. Then Albert King’s I Wonder Why closes off a very
special night.
These recordings are clear as an official records and a joy to listen
too, they were originally released in 2004 but are now being reworked. This recording
was released as Mick Taylor in Florida cdr and Tumbling Dice Florida Gigs (Tumbling
Dice) 3 cds that included the May 1st and 2nd recordings.
For this show there were two recordings coming
from the same source, the completest and lossless version was used. The
channels have been rebalanced (+15 to +25% for the right channel) and the sound
a bit amplified. As usual
the
transitions between tracks have been reworked so now each one starts
with a song; it must be noted that there is a fade in/out before Can’t You Hear
Me Knocking. This recording is so food that could be taken to be a soundboard,
due to the excellent sound output. In the promotional flyer for this concert
reproduced on the front cover the band is called the Rolling Stones Alumni and
the presence of Taylor, Keys and Hopkins certainly justifies that. This is a
very enjoyable release, so much so that it should have been official.
