Carlos Santana Plays Blues At Montreux – 2004
Its definitely working in the favor for Carlos Santana to see him more live on stage than listening to his studio projects & offerings. His mastery & recognition of jamming to every aspect of musical genre’s shouldn’t be challenged, especially receiving the dose of a special performance in this recent release from Eagle Rock Entertainment!
As he celebrates the sound of blues with 3 of his favorite musicians from that background: Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Bobby Parker & Buddy Guy, many blues enthusiasts will certainly appreciate & comprehend an affair this may have been at the Montreaux Jazz Festival back in July of 2004!!

Each duet & featured performances added flavor to the traditional value of original Blues. By orchestrating with reminisce to the 70’s sound, expressing talents from every individual/musicians & featuring adventurous solos throughout. Watch when Bobby Parker ‘gets down’ in “Mellow Down Easy”, while Carlos shows his influence & soulfulness in “Chill Out”. To see Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown on stage, in rare form, groove the heck out of “I’ve Got My Mojo Working” was a draw & very special! And of course, the legendary Buddy Guy, next to Mr. Santana & the vibrant, bluesy vocal appeal of Ms. Barbara Morrison in “So Many Roads, So Many Trains”, puts the icing on the cake!
Blues fans will fall in love with this! I thought the energy & excitement was written all over the wall. Live performances that are well executed, produced & arranged, along with the value of high quality digital sound, is appealing & make no mistake about it….This DVD package came with it!
