Canned Heat, Featuring Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown - Live at Montreux 1973 (2011)
Canned Heat, the doomed boogie-blues revivalists, only made a lone appearance at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival. Yet they still managed some star-crossed magic.

Aram Shelton and Arrive Present an Interesting Program of Quartet Music on "There Was"

An Interview with Anton Schwartz
