RE: Yet Another Juke Question

["Eric Neumann" <eneumann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Opinion...
funny thing - it makes more sense to me that LW played with more feeling
and improvisation than any scripted "book smarts" for the whole Juke
endevour. And why not? 

I mostly try and copy those who are inovative. The inventive musicians
impress me with that quality more than a completely rehearsed melody -
where blues and especially jazz are concerned.

I am not at all surprised that LW would have both a "staged" version,
and for grins would try to improvise it too. In fact it would not really
surprise me to learn that everything he ever did was unique, and in the
moment if you will.

Subject: Yet Another Juke Question



Was Juke improvised or "arranged?" I've got a LW CD with an alternate
take
of Juke that is very different;this might suggest that the Juke we know
was
improvised,or it could it be that it was more-or-less an arrangement
that LW
had worked out on the bandstand while playing the tune with Muddy's
group,and the alternate take was the improvisation?[if that makes
sense]Maybe Scott Dirks would be kind enough to weigh in on this if he's
still on the list?Otherwise,opinions?
