What Blues Bass is All About: Russell Jackson with B.B. King
Russell Jackson joined B.B. King’s band in the late ’70s, staying with the legendary guitarist for seven years. In this early ’80s clip from French TV, the band plays an instrumental, then kicks into “Let the Good Times Roll,” with another segue into “Everyday I Have the Blues.”
The whole band swings hard to Russell’s bouncy lines, as he lays out what blues bass is all about!
when he played in white rock bc in 1990s i knew i was listening to someone very very very good, and his music brought out something primal, hope you are happy and well russell
