Eddie Fisher.
"Timmy's Christmas" is coming down the poop chute soon. Sorry for the delay, but it'll be worth it.
This morning's post is about Eddie Fisher. David Gemmil turned me onto him. I don't know too much about him, but he's from St. Louis (which seems to be a hotbed for churning out great musicians). My favorite album of his is titled "the Next 100 years" and it's full of dirty grooves like this.
Anyway take a bite of this while you wait for more cartoons.

Timmy's Christmas Preview.
Colonel Chris, reporting to you live with an eyewitness report.
4 days. 4 animators. 1 film.
"TIMMY's CHRISTMAS"
Betrayal. Sex. Scandal. These are all qualities not found in this Christmas cartoon!
The picture was directed by Mike Nassar. Colossal cartoon giants David Gemmill and Ryan Khatam also lent their animation expertise. How'd I get to join the company of such monoliths, you ask? I snuck in the back with a fake ID. The secret is just to blend in.
Here are some screens from my scenes:
Anybody wanna see this cartoon?

Eddie Harris and Les McCann
Eddie Harris was a varitone (electric sax) player who recorded a great album "Swiss Movement" with Les McCann. Two terrific jazz musicians. Since nobody probably read my words, I'll just cut straight to the chase.

Freddie King
I can't remember if I did a post on Freddie King or not, but if I have it would be worth revisiting anyway.
Freddie King is my favorite of the three Kings (including Albert and BB). Freddie got a MONSTER tone, and I have no idea how he did it (look at those meat paws!). His band flirted with a lot of funk and soul, and you can feel that interjected into his blues numbers too. On top of his energetic guitar playing, he's lays down some of my favorite vocal performances ever etched into vinyl. Freddie also has one of my favorite key players, Deacon Jones (played with Curtis Mayfield, John Lee Hooker, etc.) on that organ.
After listening to Freddie, it becomes pretty apparent where the likes of Hendrix and Clapton got some of their ideas.
