Deacon Jones - Outtake from The Ticket
Deacon Jones used to play trumpet in Baby Huey and the Babysitters. The Chicago-based band put out one album which was produced by Curtis Mayfield. After Baby Huey died Deacon focused more on playing the Hammond B-3. He's a master blues man.
Dennis and Deacon have been great friends for a long time. Before he won his $30 million Dennis told Deacon that he was going to win so we went to L.A. to get Deacon's story.
We couldn't get permission to shoot in the club where Deacon regularly plays but with much thanks to Rick Taub we ended up at Cold6Records in Downtown L.A. Unfortunately Deacon isn't playing his signature B-3 but it's still terrific. Rick backs him up on bass guitar.
This is undedited so it's loose at the beginning and end - one camera, one shot, one onboard shotgun mic.
