In 2018, Blue Note boss Don Was signed Dave McMurray, the former saxophonist of his band Was Not Was, for Music is Life, a beautiful album mixing direct, percussive jazz with corrosive soul and abrasive Blues. A true chameleon, McMurray has played with some of the industry's biggest artists, including B. B. King, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Hallyday, Gladys Knight, Albert King, Nancy Wilson, Bootsy Collins, Herbie Hancock, Geri Allen, Bob James and dozens of others. This time McMurray takes his made in Detroit sound for a walk over to the West Coast of the United States, tackling the repertoire of the Grateful Dead. On Loser, he brings in soul singer Bettye LaVette and one of the founders of the Dead, Bob Weir. His tender attentions breathe new life into the works of Jerry Garcia's band. The result is the grooviest of tributes. © Clotilde Maréchal/Qobuz
