YouTube du Jour: Snooks Eaglin

After sending the finished 2011 Jazz Fest Bible to the printer yesterday, we’re gearing up for the Fest in eleven days. Here’s the late, great blues guitarist and singer Snooks Eaglin, who graced our Jazz Fest Bible cover two years ago, with a crack band of Jon Cleary on piano, George Porter, Jr. on bass, and Ken Blevins on drums in what seems to be the very early 1990s. And since it’s Monday, what’s more appropriate than a cover of the Professor Longhair classic “Red Beans”?
