Joseph A. Rosen Rhythm andBluesCruise,Rhythm October 2007. onthe Legendary Joe LouisWalker In 1985, after a decade of playing and singing nothing but gospel music with a quartet called the Spiritual Corinthians, 35-year-old Joe Louis Walker decided to get back to the blues. The San Francisco–born singer-guitarist had begun playing blues when he was 14, at first with a band of relatives and then with blues-singing pimp Fillmore Slim before becoming a fixture at the Matrix, the city’s preeminent rock club during the psychedelic Summer of Love, backing such visiting artists as Earl Hooker and Magic Sam. Michael Bloomfield became a close friend and mentor. The two musicians lived together for a period, and the famous guitarist even produced a Walker demo for Buddah Records, though nothing came of it. Then, in 1975, Walker walked away from the blues completely in order to escape the fast life and the drugs and alcohol associated with it that he saw negatively affecting Bloomfield and other musician friends. Walker knew nothing about the blues business when he started doing blues gigs again around the Bay Area with a band he’d put together, as a member of Oakland blues singer-guitarist Haskell “Cool Papa” Sadler’s band, and (for a tour of Europe) with the ad hoc Mississippi Delta Blues Band.

  • Sax Gordon's International Soul Caravan Copy
    SAX GORDON’S INTERNATIONAL SOUL CARAVAN Ever since musicians have entered recording studios, recordings have allowed their music to travel further than most could have ever imagined. In the United States, sounds from the South, from Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Los Angeles found their way throughout the country, inspiring young musicians used to hearing only regional styles. Radio broadcasts spread the sounds even further. When American Soul music emerged in the 1960s it found open ears and hearts all over the world. Performers lucky enough to get a chance to perform overseas, such as the Memphis-based Stax/Volt Revue were amazed to be greeted by adoring fans in Europe and anywhere else they traveled. Years later, the seeds sown by those early records and those legendary concerts and tours have grown into a new generation of musicians united not by country or continent, but by the love of American Soul Music, new troubadours that carry on and add to this old tradition, both paying tribute to classic styles and creating new music. Sax Gordon grew up in northern California, absorbing American music on radio and records, playing at every chance, then hit the road with many of the old Blues and R&B veterans that still criss-crossed the country, eventually backing Soul stars like Little Milton, Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave), Ben E. King, Martha Reeves, Howard Tate, Betty Harris, and Solomon Burke. Along the way some festival performances in Brazil were televised... Guitarist Igor Prado and drummer Yuri Prado grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, discovered American roots music, and formed the Igor Prado Band.

  • The Theo Huff – Interview by Mike Stephenson
    THEO HUFF INTERVIEW By Mike Stephenson Scott and Howard Scott. All of these people really encouraged me and nurtured me. They would pull me to the side and tell me to try this and that and they would bring ideas that have enhanced my performance. From having a first CD out, called ‘Now Is The Time’ in 2014 I’ve just released my new CD this year which is called ‘The New Beginning’ on T.M.P. Records and it’s a big title for me. I had the privilege to work with a great artist, Marzette Griffith, on the CD and the producer is Paul Richmond, who wrote hits for Tyrone Davis and Willie Clayton. Theo Huff, Chicago, 2016. Photo: Mike Stephenson. It was recorded in South Holland, hicago bluesman Theo Huff has had two CDs Illinois in the South suburbs of Chicago. I have had a couple of singles out : ‘Wet Creleased since 2014 and has now become a Pannies’ from 2013 on P.M.T.

Mel also helped me with a couple of songs as well. It motivated me so I was born on the west side of Chicago, Illinois on July 10th much to have such talented people to work with.
