Still from TV program: David Hoffman delivering his solo in Just For A Thrill. |
I've seen an excellent video copy of a broadcast by 3Sat (air date June 30, 2001). Amazing how Charles, aged 70 here, worked around his voice limitations, delivering the songs - despite a few cracks - with the energy of a much younger Brother Ray (at the show's final the old man even went through his knees a few times, taking his applause, as if he was 40).
Personnel:
Musicians: Ted Murdock, David Hoffman, Ken Scharf - trumpets; Larry Foyen - trumpet, flugel horn; Steve Sigmund, Michel Guerrier, Dupor D Georges - trombones; Wayne Coniglio - bass trombone; Al Jackson - alto saxophone, band leader; Rudy Johnson - alto saxophone; Craig Bailey, Keith Loftis - tenor saxophones; Terrene Goss - baritone saxophone; Brad Rabuchin - guitar; Tom Fowler - bass; Peter Turre - drums; Ernest Vantrease - organ.
