Bluesiana Triangle

Life's a One Way Ticket
Bluesiana Triangle 1990 via Windham Hill Records
a note about this track

Bluesiana Triangle is an album by American jazz musician Art Blakey, as well as the name of the short-lived American jazz, blues and funk group that recorded it, consisting of Blakey (drums), Dr. John (keyboards, guitar, vocals) and David "Fathead" Newman (saxophone, flute). However, Art Blakey passed away later that same year in 1990, which pretty much spelled the end of Bluesiana Triangle. After a personnel change, just one more album was issued under the name Bluesiana II in 1991.

a note about this track

Don't blame me if, at about the 2:30 mark, you feel compelled to start rapping "Hi, my name is, what? My name is, who? / My name is, chka-chka, Slim Shady." Eminem sampled the guitar break in the middle of this 1975 track from Labi Saffre called "I Got The..." in his 1999 hit "My Name Is"
