The group presents a wide range of contrasting numbers, both eastern and western, which reflect the LP's title - something totally new and innovative. In the first few titles, traditional standard numbers come over rather enigmatically while supporting original and rhythmic compactness, but this soon gives over to a tactically well-formed instrumentation and lengthy solo interludes. The all-embracing motto 'blues' is taken up by the band in Nat Adderley's \"Work Song\" at the very latest, with mind-expanding ways of playing and varying sounds. Catapulted by Mike Bloomfield's artistry on the guitar into the world of rock, all the musicians celebrate these well-known jazz standards and each man contributes his personal skill into forging a perfectly balanced team effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title number \"East-West\" ultimately demolishes the world of the blues. In the tonal mixture of confidently prepared rock ingredients and borrowings from Indian music (raga rock), we have an amalgamation of rock, blues, jazz and oriental melodies which result in an emotional, unheard-of sound that is well worth the hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g High Quality Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Analogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from the original, analogue master tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded July 1966 at Chess Studios, Chicago (IL), by Jac Holzman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaithful reproduction of original artwork and labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Pallas in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"musicians\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMike Bloomfield\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eguitar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePaul Butterfield\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eharmonica, vocals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElvin Bishop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eguitar, vocals (\"Never Say No\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJerome Arnold\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMark Naftalin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eorgan, piano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBilly Davenport\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edrums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkin' Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Out Of My Life, Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got A Mind To Give Up Living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll These Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork Song (order of solos: Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Mark Naftalin, Elvin Bishop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary, Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Trains Running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Say No (Vocal: Elvin Bishop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast-West (order of solos: Elvin Bishop, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59548658565201,"sku":"4260019716040","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/5euros7315__81468.1620289162.jpg?v=1779355804","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/the-butterfield-blues-band-east-west-speakers-corner-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
