Synopsis

Album Description
Fronted by bassman/composer Mike Rivard, Club d?Elf is a revolving supergroup of sorts, with regular guest appearances by a high-flying cast of musicians including on this 2-CD set, Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie, Rolling Stones), Kenwood Dennard (Miles Davis, Sting, Jaco Pastorius), Alain Mallet (Paul Simon), Brahim Fribgane (Peter Gabriel, Morphine), DJ Logic (Project Logic, MMW), Joe Maneri (Paul Bley), and Mat Maneri (Cecil Taylor, William Parker). With more than 146 minutes of music, the new CD, As Above, combines the highlights from a year of performances to create an other-worldly, musical journey.

Must Have!
Bob Ranklin | Chicago, IL | 11/21/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mississippi Fred is among my 5 favorite blues masters of all time. His playing defines blues slide guitar. ''Live at the Gaslight'' finds Fred at the top of his game - it's as if he knew this was going to be his very last recording. He plays his butt off. His singing is intense. This is a great collection of songs. Sound quality is superb - it sounds like Fred is in your living room. This is a great way to relive a show I would give a million dollars to have been at. A double disc full of gems! I would highly recommend this disc..."

"These discs should go a long way toward solidifying Fred McDowell's reputation as a Delta legend. His playing is fluid, his singing filled with power. I found the second set even better than the first; Fred's chemistry with the audience and the sheer brilliance of his music made for an electric performance. The quality of the recording is superb. Don't miss this one."
