Re: [Harp-L] Father's and Son's

Interesting, there is this snippet from Bloomfield's discography...
Â
"This concert was billed as the âSuper Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboreeâ and opened with the Ace of Cups followed by Nick Gravenites and Quicksilver Messenger Service (Gravenites produced the concert). Bloomfield is the vocalist on âYoung Girl.â The unknown titles come from a second set which featured Cotton and Webb, a member at the time of The Flock. The musicians all donated their services for the concert to benefit the Wheaton-based Phoenix Fellowship. According to Marshall Chess, the idea to do an album with Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield and Bloomfield came from Michael himself. The title, âFathers and Sons,â was also Bloomfieldâs idea. On the unissued tune âIâm Goinâ Home,â Waters is backed by Albertina Walker and other gospel singers; one take features a solo by Bloomfield, the other has a solo by tenor player Gene Ammons. Thanks to Norman Dayron, the recordingâs producer, for this information."
Â
There is no mention of any Muddy Waters recordings with Johnny Winter or Dr John during this time period. Winter seems to first appear on the Muddy dioscography in March '77 at Harry Hope's club.
Â
Not saying it didn't happen, but seems to be scant references from all avenues?

I was talking to my band leader last night about the Father's and Son's lp. He said the Cosmic Scout Jamboree that the lp is taken from was filmed and shown on tv. He said PBS aired it years ago.
He said Johnny Winter and Dr. John were also on the bill but didn't appear on the lp.

I never knew the concert was televised. You'd expect Butterfield collectors to post something on You Tube but I never heard anyone mention it until last night.

Can anyone confirm it's existence out there?

Take Care
