DESCRIPTION:
Here's a clip of New Haven, CT blues band The Cobalt Rhythm Kings and NYC musician Noel Mendez jamming on "Big Boss Man" in New York City's beautiful Fort Tryon Park in the rain at the tail end of Coogan's Salsa Blues & Shamrocks 5K Run on Sunday, March 6, 2011. Excuse the jerky, "atmospheric" camera work -- this was filmed by Cobalt harmonica player/frontman Mark Zaretsky with a handheld Flipcam WHILE he played! (Go ahead -- YOU try it!) The tentlike surroundings are a tarp-enrobed EZ-Up canopy to keep the equipment dry. The Cobalt Rhythm Kings are: Mark Zaretsky, harp & vocals; Wendell Jones, bass & vocals; Greg Benn, guitar, and Tom Smith, drums.
