Steve Khan is getting better!

The other day I drank a Châteauneuf-du-Pape born in 1960. During all my senses tasted these complex, spiritualized drops, my analogy is so casually invaded the music. Musically, I'm a demanding "omnivore", if it is then just dealing with high-quality sounds. In particular, I am concerned with the music of the 50s to the present day (rock, pop, jazz, fusion, blues ...).
I distinguish three kinds of musicians:
1. Musicians, the highly foaming like a good champagne - reached its zenith - and disappear again after a short time. Examples of such musicians Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter or even a James Brown.
When I was 14 years old, Hendrix's "Band of Gypsys" 1969/70 (in my opinion the absolute highlight of his guitar creations, such as "Who Knows", "Machine Gun", "Power Of Love" or "Message To Love" [with the much better drummer Buddy Miles as Mitch Mitchell ever was) heard, I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, the egos of Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles could not work together and months later the century musician Hendrix was history.
Just Johnny Winter with his live recording Johnny Winter And Live 1971 (for example, "It's My Own Fault" or "Mean Town Blues" along with Rick Derringer) Today runs me goose bumps down your spine when I hear these pieces. Absolute highlights of the rock, pop and blues history. Unfortunately, Johnny Winter last year died in Switzerland. He could never build on his virtuoso guitar art after his drug rehabilitation (heroin) 1972. His "vibrato" his peers looking on the song "It's My Own Fault"!
James Brown also is located at the beginning of the 70's (James Brown Make It Funky - The Big Payback 1971-1975) at the peak of his musical, animal and dance creation. The mid-1970s was James Brown's success with the advent of disco music after. In the autumn of 1974 James Brown joined with Miriam Makeba, BB King, The Spinners and The Crusaders on a big concert in Africa (Kinshasa, Zaire, a three-day musical journey of the legendary "African Woodstock" [worth seeing!]). The concerts were part of the general program for the organized by Don King historic boxing match "Rumble in the Jungle" between the former heavyweight champion George Foreman and the former world champion Muhammad Ali.
2. musicians who like a good quality wine, consistently deliver consistent quality over a long period (eg Steely Dan or Dr. John).
3. musicians who are like an old, well-aged "Burgundy" getting better (eg Steve Khan [subtext] or Jeff Beck [Performing This Week ... Live At Ronnie Scott's]).
While listening to the CD subtext of Steve Khan the sentence is me slipped out spontaneously: "The is getting better, the older he is!" The CD is highly recommended from my point of view and a highlight of his work. The entire CD (nine tracks) offers high-quality. Steve Khan at its finest! Unfortunately, many older CD's by Steve Khan (eg Arrows or Crossings) are currently not available.
Addendum 02.21.2015: Steve Khan three albums for Columbia: Tighrope 1977 / Blue Man 1978 / Arrows 1979, finally reissued and appear as a double CD on 20 March 2015th
