Carlos Santana - Plays Blues at Montreux 2004 - 2008 - Montreux Sounds

The Montreux Jazz Festival returns to its roots with this special blues concert. Recorded in 2004, the show features some of the finest blues guitar playing around from four of the world's greatest players: Carlos Santana, Bobby Parker, Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, and Buddy Guy. The disc features eleven great tracks on which Carlos plays with Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Bobby Parker, and Buddy Guy, backed by a stellar cast of back-up musicians. The concert brings a touch of America's Deep South to the shores of Lake Geneva. Carlos contributes to all of these tracks, but to credit the entire album to him is perhaps slightly misleading. Other guitarists on the album include Nile Rodgers and Ric Hall. Eagle Vision released a 3 DVD set of the whole night but this post is a legit single disc version which features Carlos' best performances from the festival. The album is HR by A.O.O.F.C.
