Yes, on the studio boots there's a lot of blues material, some covers and many spontaneous blues jams, on "Place Pigalle" (second CD) for example an instrumental with harp, piano, upright bass, drums, called "After Hours". It's really incredible, that feeling. The bass (Keith?) is marvelous, and the harp (Mick?) too. But I guess that Mick is on the piano and they have some guests during the session.
