  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

Wander among the festival’s seven stages and you can listen to everything from authentic Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco music to Chicago and West Coast Blues, from Latin to Rockabilly and Swing. In recent years, Gator By the Bay has also earned a stand-out reputation for bringing together stellar combinations of musicians in innovative mash-up performances, presenting musical groupings you won’t hear anywhere else. This year is no exception. On Saturday, May 7, San Diego’s own multiple gold guitarist Johnny Vernazza will share the Mardi Gras Stage with blues greats Roy Rogers and John Németh. Often lauded as the “Master of the Slide Guitar”, Roy Rogers’ distinctive style is instantly recognizable. He’s shared duets with such greats as John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint, and teamed up with the likes of Norton Buffalo and Ray Manzarek. Harmonica virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter John Németh has multiple Blues Music Awards nominations to his name, and his album, ‘Memphis Grease’, won Best Soul Blues Album at the 2015 Blues Music Awards. He has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards 2016 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, to be given out on May 5. Other notable combined artists’ performances include Sugaray Rayford, Alabama Mike & the Drop Ins with harmonica master Rick Estrin and harmonica and guitar whiz-kid Jon Atkinson on Friday evening, May 6, and Jon Atkinson with Rick Estrin and Fabulous Thunderbird alumna Kim Wilson on Saturday, May 7.

  • B. B. King (1925-2015) Homenatge Al Rei Del Blues Maig 2015
    B. B. King (1925-2015) Homenatge al Rei del Blues Maig 2015 ■ INTRODUCCIÓN Riley B. King o Riley Ben King (Itta Bena, Misisipi, 16 de septiembre de 1925-Las Vegas, Nevada, 14 de mayo de 2015), más conocido como B.B. King, fue un músico, cantante y compositor estadounidense. Es ampliamente considerado uno de los músicos de blues más influyentes de todos los tiempos, ganando el apodo de «el Rey del Blues» y el renombre de «uno de los tres reyes (kings) de la guitarra blues» junto a Albert King y Freddie King. Según Edward M. Komara, King «introdujo un sofisticado estilo de solos basados en fluidas cuerdas [de guitarra] dobladas y brillantes vibratos que influirían prácticamente a todos los guitarristas de blues eléctrico que le siguieron». Los Beatles le mencionaron en la canción «Dig It» (1970). Además, la revista Rolling Stone lo situó en el puesto seis de la lista de los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos y figura en el puesto 17 de la lista «Top 50 Guitarists of All Time» elaborada por Gibson. King fue introducido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 1987. Con los años, King desarrolló un estilo de guitarra identificable de su obra musical, con elementos prestados de Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker y otros y la fusión de géneros musicales como el blues, el jazz, el swing y el pop. Su guitarra eléctrica Gibson ES-335, apodada «Lucille», también da nombre a una línea de guitarras creada por la compañía en 1980. King es también reconocido por su prolífico directo, con un promedio de 250 ó 300 conciertos anuales durante la década de 1970.

  • Blues Lyric Formulas in Early Country Music, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll *
    Blues Lyric Formulas in Early Country Music, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll * Nicholas Stoia NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.20.26.4/mto.20.26.4.stoia.php KEYWORDS: blues, country music, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, lyric formulas ABSTRACT: This article briefly recounts recent work identifying the most common lyric formulas in early blues and then demonstrates the prevalence of these formulas in early country music, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. The study shows how the preference for certain formulas in prewar country music—like the preference for the same formulas in prewar blues—reflects the social instability of the time, and how the de-emphasis of these same formulas in rhythm and blues and rock and roll reflects the relative affluence of the early postwar period. This shift in textual content is the lyrical counterpart to the electrification, urbanization, and growing formal complexity that mark the transformation of prewar blues and country music into postwar rhythm and blues and rock and roll. DOI: 10.30535/mto.26.4.8 Received May 2018 Volume 26, Number 4, November 2020 Copyright © 2020 Society for Music Theory [0.1] Singers and songwriters in many genres of American popular music rely on lyric formulas for the creation of songs. Lyric formulas are fragments of lyrical content—usually lines or half lines— that are shared among singers and recognized by both musicians and listeners. Blues is the genre for which scholars have most conclusively established the widespread use of lyric formulas, and this study briefly recounts recent work that identifies the most common lyric formulas in commercially recorded blues from the early 1920s to the early 1940s—research showing that the high frequency of certain formulas reflects the societal circumstances of much of the African American population during that period.

  • A Study of Blues And
    “YOUNG FASHIONED WAYS”: A STUDY OF BLUES AND AUTHENTICITY IN THREE TRANSATLANTIC STUDIO COLLABORATIONS _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music _______________ by Conor M. Jamison Fall 2013 iii Copyright © 2013 by Conor M. Jamison All Rights Reserved iv ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Young Fashioned Ways”: A Study of Blues and Authenticity in Three Transatlantic Studio Collaborations by Conor M. Jamison Master of Arts in Music San Diego State University, 2013 During the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was popular for blues artists—both British and American—to travel across the Atlantic to record with their fellow musicians. Three albums resulted from these collaborative exchanges which have been popular among fans, but also matters of controversy among blues purists: The London Muddy Waters Sessions, The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions, and Fleetwood Mac: Blues Jam in Chicago. Some feel that the American masters did not play to their own potential, and the white, British sidemen sound weak in comparison with their black, American counterparts. These reflections call into question the ability of the British musicians to achieve authentic blues, as well as the ability of the American players to remain authentic in a collaborative environment. In 2002, musicologist, Allan Moore published his article “Authenticity as Authentication,” wherein, he outlined a tripartite typology that can be uses as a basis for evaluating musical performances in terms of the perception of authenticity by those experiencing it. Moore's typology classifies the factors of authenticity into “first-, second-, and third-person.” Or “authenticity of: 'expression,' 'experience,' and 'execution'”.
