Now released: Single The Blues Standard Series, Vol. 3 

 

 

This is the third release in The Blues Standards Series. Side A presents new arrangement of the great Blues & Soul classic At Last, Norbert Egger & his City Blues Connection featuring Anne Bischow (vocals). The B-side is the Rattlesnake Blues, a wild R&B number composed, written and sung by Norbert Egger.

The songs were recorded at sessions in May 2022 in Austria and Germany.

With the new release, Norbert Egger and his band once again features an extraordinary artist:

Anne Bischow, accompanied by the Rhythm & Blues Big Band City Blues Connection, can be heard singing on the great Soul and Blues standard At Last. The great classic, also known by Etta James, has been rearranged for this release with a brass section.

The young singer Anne Bischow was selected by Norbert Egger because of her excellent singing with her spectrum from sensitive to powerful in a casting from over 50 singers in 2020. In the context of the producer's 50th stage anniversary, several titles were recorded, which will be released this year.

The Blues Standard Series, Vol. 3 is the second joint production by Anne Bischow and Norbert Egger.

City Blues Connection was founded by Norbert Egger in 1979 and is now The Rhythm & Blues Big Band.

The single will be available as 7" vinyl single, soon.

Now available: Vinyl Single The Blues Standard Series, Vol. 2 

 

 

Side A: Sunday Kind OF Love / Side B: Dust My Broom (Instrumental)

Also available on Spotify https://spoti.fi/3O2Yyce

and other streaming platforms via landing page http://hyperurl.co/20jhf8

This is the second release in The Blues Standards Series - and includes new arrangements by Norbert Egger of two great Blues and Soul standards: Norbert Egger and his City Blues Connection featuring Anne Bischow (vocals) with A Sunday Kind Of Love  and Norbert Egger and his Natural Blues featuring Steve Baker (Blues harp) with an instrumental version of great Blues standard Dust My Broom. The music has been recorded during sessions in Austria, Switzerland and Germany in May 2022.

With the new release, Norbert Egger and his bands features two exceptional artists:

Anne Bischow, accompanied by the Rhythm & Blues Big Band City Blues Connection, can be heard singing on the great soul and blues standard A Sunday Kind Of Love. The great classic, also known from Etta James, has been rearranged for this release with a horn section. The young singer Anne Bischow was selected by Norbert Egger because of her excellent singing with her spectrum from sensitive to powerful singing in a casting from over 50 singers in 2020. In the context of the joint performance at the producer's 50th stage anniversary, several titles were recorded, which are to be released this year.

With the B-side song Natural Blues features Blues harp top star Steve Baker together with Norbert Egger and his slide guitar in a wild instrumental version of the blues classic Dust My Broom. The two musicians have known each other since the 1980s, when they performed together at various sessions in Hamburg. 

Born and raised in London, England, Steve has for many years lived near Hamburg, Germany and has been a full time professional since 1975. Steve has developed an instantly recognizable and highly musical style which is both expressive and lyrical, characterized by his subtle, rhythmically accented phrasing. His unique sound draws on the blues harmonica tradition and combines it with elements from country, folk, funk, soul and jazz to create an exciting and individual fusion, with an emotional intensity which finds its way straight to the hearts of his listeners. He has influenced a generation of younger players and is often regarded as one of those musicians who have revitalized the instrument in Europe, and as one of its leading exponents worldwide. He has made hundreds of recordings as a studio musician in Germany and beyond and can be heard on a wide variety of CD, film and TV productions. In recognition of his longstanding work in the service of the harmonica, Steve Baker was presented with the Pete Pedersen Lifetime Achievement Award by the American SPAH Association in summer 2019.

City Blues Connection, founded by Norbert Egger in 1979 today is The Rhythm & Blues Big Band. Natural Blues is the Blues formation created in Hamburg by Norbert Egger in 1982.

Price: EUR 9,90 plus shipping cost.

07.07.2017 - Louisiana Red & The City Blues Connection - World On Fire available in July 2017

The production Louisiana Red & The City Blues Connection - World On Fire will be available as audio CD already in July 2017. During next week, the album will also be available in online shops.

Even at the recording sessions in Hamburg 1985 a legend, Louisiana Red showed in this production his versatility.

Original text from the LP in 1985:

"The themes of the album “World On Fire” came out of Louisiana Red’s own life. The title song is almost gospel-like although rocking along aggressively, and give warning against the nuclear fire, sung by Red with wild emotion. “When I Was A Boy” is a country honk song about the times on the cotton fields.

“Mississippi Girl” and “Voodoo Woman” are love songs, but with the typical Red excitement. “For My Friend” is dedicated to Bo Diddley, played in the hand jive style, while “Soul Food” shows Red’s old love for soul music. And besides all the “babies of the Blues” (Red) as Rhythm & Blues, Rock and Soul the authentic stuff itself – listen to “Suffering”. The last song of the album is an adaption of an old gospel, “On My Way To The Kingdom Land”. Most of the songs were recorded some kind of live, Red often refused to play a title twice or do overdubs. The spontaneous expression was more important to him. A difficult way to work, but the “City Blues Connection” was the right partner. After the sessions in Volkspark Studio, Hamburg, Red commented: “They are better than any band I had before, even in Chicago”."
