Wherever They Play, Boney Fields and the Bone's Project Leave Behind Them a Lasting Impression. Like a High Energy Gunpowder T © Matthieu FAURE – Brenda TURNNIDGE Wherever they play, Boney Fields and The Bone’s Project leave behind them a lasting impression. Like a high energy gunpowder trail, dispensing a cross of blues and funk which unites and rallies the masses in a heavenly musical communion. Fronted by the dynamic, trumpet player, singer/songwriter Boney Fields, the combo has gained a bigger and bigger following. The bowler-hatted musician has come a long way since founding his own band, ten years ago. If he comes from Chicago Blues, he has expanded the contours with an iron willed determination. A lover of soul, groove, jazz, Boney Fields knows, as do certain other musicians of his generation, that the life of blues exists through constant evolution and rejuvenation. With humility and conviction, he follows his own path finding his own originality on the way. A man resolutely of his time, yet also immersed in the heritage of his musical forefathers, Boney Fields proves that the blues still has some great days ahead of it.

  • Spirituals Et Gospel
    SPIRITUALS ET GOSPEL un parcours dans les musiques sacrées afro-américaines. Médiathèque François Mitterrand Décembre 2010 1 Histoire des Négro-spirituals Les origines L'origine des Negro Spirituals remonte au temps de l'esclavage. Ces chants, empreints d'espoir et de ferveur religieuse, expriment tout le drame des populations africaines déracinées et vendues pour travailler dans les plantations du sud des Etats-Unis. Le Gospel est une création plus récente née dans les communautés noires américaines des grandes villes du Nord. Tout a commencé en 1619, lorsqu'un navire hollandais débarqua sur les côtes de Virginie les premiers esclaves africains. On trouva que ces hommes s'adaptaient bien au climat et qu'ils pouvaient être d'un excellent profit pour l'économie locale. Aussi d'autres navires négriers suivirent et, année après année, pendant plus de deux siècles, des centaines de milliers d'êtres humains furent arrachés à leur sol natal et transportés, dans des conditions effroyables, vers les rives américaines. Pendant la traversée. Gravure 1840 (Librairie du congrès) 2 L'esclavage fut à son apogée, au début du 19ème siècle, avec le développement du coton. En 1860 on comptait plus de quatre millions d'esclaves aux Etats Unis. La guerre de Sécession et l'influence des mouvements humanistes conduisirent à l'abolition de l'esclavage en 1865. Mais c'est à la même époque qu'apparut le Ku Klux Klan et les réactions ségrégationnistes. La lutte pour une complète et réelle liberté allait encore durer bien des années, jusqu'aux mouvements pour les droits civiques, entre 1960 et 1970, avec l'inoubliable figure de Martin Luther King.

  • Funk Is Its Own Reward": an Analysis of Selected Lyrics In
    ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES LACY, TRAVIS K. B.A. CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS, 2000 "FUNK IS ITS OWN REWARD": AN ANALYSIS OF SELECTED LYRICS IN POPULAR FUNK MUSIC OF THE 1970s Advisor: Professor Daniel 0. Black Thesis dated July 2008 This research examined popular funk music as the social and political voice of African Americans during the era of the seventies. The objective of this research was to reveal the messages found in the lyrics as they commented on the climate of the times for African Americans of that era. A content analysis method was used to study the lyrics of popular funk music. This method allowed the researcher to scrutinize the lyrics in the context of their creation. When theories on the black vernacular and its historical roles found in African-American literature and music respectively were used in tandem with content analysis, it brought to light the voice of popular funk music of the seventies. This research will be useful in terms of using popular funk music as a tool to research the history of African Americans from the seventies to the present. The research herein concludes that popular funk music lyrics espoused the sentiments of the African-American community as it utilized a culturally familiar vernacular and prose to express the evolving sociopolitical themes amid the changing conditions of the seventies era.

  • Luther Johnson – Telarc.Com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson Is One of the Premier Blues Artists to Emerge from Chicago's
    Luther Johnson – telarc.com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson is one of the premier blues artists to emerge from Chicago’s music scene. Hailing from Itta Bena, Mississippi, Johnson arrived in Chicago in the mid-fifties a young man. At around the same time, the West Side guitar style, a way of playing alternating stinging single-note leads with powerful distorted chords, was being created mostly by Magic Sam and Otis Rush. Originally developed because their small bands could not afford both lead and rhythm guitar players, this style grew into an important contribution to modern blues and rock, influencing such notables as Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Johnson served a long sideman apprenticeship with both Magic Sam and Muddy Waters, while developing into a strong performer in his own right. Today, Luther is widely considered the foremost proponent of the West Side guitar style and the heir apparent to the late Magic Sam’s West Side throne. Luther Johnson first gained an international reputation as a guitarist and vocalist with Muddy Waters’ band, touring the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia from 1973-79. Given the opportunity to front the band on his featured tunes in each show, Johnson’s super-charged performances consistently thrilled audiences in the world’s leading concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and Radio City Music Hall as well as at music festivals in Newport, Antibes, New Orleans and countless others. During his association with Muddy Waters, Johnson also shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter.
