James Harman - Sparks Flying: Live in 1992 (2022)

With this live James Harman Band release we delve further into the amazing recordings Pierre Degeneffe organized over the years at the many festivals he organized or collaborated on, Ecaussines and Tamines in particular - Pierre's booking choices always reflected a deep love for the real blues and an inspired taste in quality musicians. So we have a catalog within a catalog here a set of artists like James Harman featured at the top of their game. And if you are reading this some time after the album's release do check what may have followed. Pierre has an amazing list I intend to work through. Usually with any set of recordings, whether studio or live, I give a lot of thought to the running order so the set flows and is interesting throughout. But this show was not thrown together at the last minute with a set list on scraps of paper. James put together a complete, well planned performance and it needs no changes. This is the show as performed on the night.
