The Review:

Normally I don’t review artists outside of the progressive music genre so please forgive the shortness of this review. There’s a rare occasion that I feel the music on whole is important enough to review and this was the case with John Hammond’s new dvd from his performance on February 19th 2004 at the “New Morning” club in Paris.

I must admit to knowing nothing about John Hammond so I researched online to find he’s one of the most distinguished Blues musicians to grace the genre. You can also check out his page over at MySpace.com to hear his music.

After several viewings of the dvd, I have a better appreciation for the man and his music. If you’re a fan of acoustic based blues then look no further than John Hammond and this dvd.
