B.B. King, Live at the Regal, 1965 on ABC Paramount

Recorded live at the Regal Theater in Chicago in 1964, and released by ABC Paramount (in the US) in 1965. Fantastic live blues album and a must have.

It was a cold, raw day in traditionally windy Chicago on November 21, 1964, but hundreds of people found a quick way to warm up! There were the lucky ones who crowded into the Regal Theatre where an old favorite—B.B. King—generated his own brand of heat via his guitar, his band, and his great blues songs.

— Rick Ward

My copy—via uDiscover online—is a 2015 reissue on Geffen labels, pressed at United Record Pressing. I’d love to have an original pressing but this sounds pretty good.

A major refresh of an earlier article that includes a great deal of new content.

1959 saw Taylor and Bob (Kenyon) Hokins record arrangements for Patricia Scot's only album. I've added a great deal of detail on how she got there and what happened next.

September 1st marks the start of "Creed Taylor Month" - an annual tradition started by A&M/CTI in Canada in 1968. It's something interesting to observe each year, even though it was October in America. For background and details see the entry embedded at the bottom of this post. This year, I thought it also worth remembering that on September 1st, 1950 - legendary African-America
