![]() Clearly I am not alone, as Ryan Stevenson (Zoppīeing the name of his solo project) seems to have made a study of Stewart as part of his life's work. I am a big fan of Dave Stewart's dirty organ. ![]() Well Executed and Enjoyable Retro-Canterbury - Nothing More, Nothing less His career was a short outburst (yes, those drugs) between 19 but whatever he recorded in that period is worth searching for. Most of his albums were recorded for MPS in Germany and produced by Joachim-Ernst Berendt. On the 1972 album "Fiddler on the Rock" he was accompanied by Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor and Paul Lagos (Canned Heat, John Mayall). Harris was primarily a blues artist who broke down all barriers (like many others at the time) and ventured into jazz fusion, progressive rock and even soul on later albums. The recordings were made during the 1971 Violin Summit at Berlin, Germany - the same event also spawned a second LP named "New Violin Summit" released in 1972, where Harris meets Jean-Luc Ponty, Wolfgang Dauner, Terje Rypdal (again), Robert Wyatt (again) and some others. The album must be credited to Don Sugarcane Harris one of the musicians to introduce the violin (amplified) as a rock and blues instrument as a sideman to Johnny Otis (he gave him his nickname), Frank Zappa (Hot Rats) and John Mayall (USA Union). ![]() I like Volker Kriegel a lot but this is not one of his albums - he plays on 3 tracks and his contributions are essential while Terje Rypdal plays on track 3 - but he is not the leader here.
