The career of blues guitar legend B.B. King has spanned some six decades, and he has earned a reputation of one of the best of the blues through constant touring and dynamic live performances. One of the frequent stops along King's seemingly never-ending tour is the annual jazz festival in Montreux, Switzerland, where the guitarist has made better than 20 appearances through the years.
King's Live At Montreux DVD documents one of the guitarist's best performances at the festival. Backed by his road-tested B.B. King Orchestra, King delivers a crowd-pleasing set of songs. This release includes King's entire sixteen-song 1993 performance, while a Blu-Ray version adds three songs from a 2006 King appearance at Montreux.
The set opens with the instrumental "Fanfare," a jazzy romp where the various members of King's top-notch touring band get to flex their muscles. Each instrumentalist takes center stage for a few minutes to rock the house with a brief solo. After several minutes of the extended jam, including a fine guitar solo by rhythm guitarist Leon Warren, the great B.B. step on the stage to large applause.
When King starts working his fretboard magic, the band dynamic changes; now they're working hard to keep up with the blues legend. A guitarist of incredible skill and charisma, King lights up an audience whenever he takes the microphone or starts in on a solo. After a short intro, they jump into "Let The Good Times Roll," a raucous get-the-crowd-on-their-feet number designed to get the audience's blood flowing and their adrenalin pumping. King tears off a houserockin' solo that, accompanied by James Bolden's white-hot trumpet, gets the crowd suitably primed and ready to roll.
With a firm foundation built by their opening numbers, King and crew launch into an energetic set of blues, R&B, and soul classics. A few, like the swinging fan favorite "Caldonia," have been in the guitarist's repertoire for decades. His playful reading of the song does not disappoint, his roaring vocals and rattling fretwork set against blustery sax solos from Walter King and Melvin Jackson. Each saxophonist provides a different musical texture for King to imprint with his scorching guitarplay.
Ever the veteran showman, King doesn't miss a beat during "Chains Of Love," changing out a broken string on his guitar while soulfully belting out the song's lyrics above James Toney's rollicking piano pounding. Bolden lends the song a jazzy heartbeat with a muted trumpet solo while, his errant string replaced, King lays down a few scattered notes before the song's slow-burn conclusion.
In 1993, King released Blues Summit, an album of inspired collaborations with old friends like John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, and Koko Taylor as well as youngsters like Robert Cray and John Louis Walker. Performing his version of the Ivory Joe Hunter gem from Blues Summit, the smoky blues-ballad "Since I Met You Baby," King's gruff-hewn vocals are accompanied by a slow, shuffling drumbeat and tinkling keyboards until the song reaches a crescendo, King's guitar churning loudly against the blaring horn section.
"Playing With My Friends," King's collaboration with Cray from the Blues Summit album, is an old-fashioned R&B Revue rave-up with a roller-coaster rhythm, plenty of keyboard-bashing, and supple hornplay. King's joyous solos are short but sharp, his lively vocals perfectly capturing the camaraderie of the song' lyrical celebration of pure music-making.
