  • The Story of the Blues – a Concise History Harvard University Course Syllabus, Charles Sawyer
    The Story of The Blues – A Concise History Harvard University Course Syllabus, Charles Sawyer The blues was born in the deep south, principally the Mississippi Delta, in the last decade of the 19th century. In the 1930s and '40s a huge number of Black Americans migrated north to Chicago and the blues went with them. At the same time, the blues spilled over into Memphis. In the 1950's the blues had grown up from country music into something we call Urban Blues. The music had changed from solo, acoustic, country music to ensemble, electric city music. Urban Blues had become national music, not regional music, but it was still the music of African Americans. What the white population of America knew of blues was blues-influenced music. In the mid-1950s American Popular Music was transformed by a new generation of musicians through recordings of small, independent record labels, principally Sun Records, located in Memphis, Chess Records, located in Chicago, Atlantic Records, located in New York City, and Specialty Records, located in Los Angeles. This was Rock And Roll. Rock and Roll was not blues, but it was more than mere blues-influenced music, it was blues- drenched music. Blues was confined to the shadows, lurking behind racial barriers. In all of America, very few white Americans could tell you who B.B. King was, in spite of the fact he was constantly crisscrossing the country, playing to sell-out crowds. By the 1960s blues may have been little known to whites in America, but a few white kids on both sides of the Atlantic were discovering it, and together they would change popular music profoundly and permanently.

INFORMATIONEN Mit insgesamt annähernd dreihundert Einzeltiteln beschreibt der Blueshistoriker und Musikwissenschaftler Bill Dahl aus Chicago die bislang umfassendste Geschichte des elektrischen Blues von seinen Anfängen in den späten 1930er Jahren bis in das aktuelle Jahrtausend. Bevor in den Dreißigerjahren Tonabnehmersysteme, erste primitive Verstärker und Beschallungssysteme und schließ- lich mit Gibsons ES-150 ein elektrisches Gitarren-Serienmodell entwickelt wurde, spielte die erste Generation der Gitarrenpioniere im Blues in den beiden Jahrzehnten vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf akustischen Instrumenten. Doch erst mit Hilfe der elektrischen Verstärkung konnten sich Gitarristen und Mundharmonikaspielern gegenüber den Pianisten, Schlagzeugern und Bläsern in ihrer Band behaupten, wenn sie für ihre musikalischen Höhenflüge bei einem Solo abheben wollten. Auf zwölf randvollen CDs, jeweils in einem Dreier-Set in geschmackvollen und vielfach aufklappbaren Digipacks, hat Bill Dahl die wichtigsten und etliche nahezu in Vergessenheit geratene Beispiele für die bedeutendste Epoche in der Geschichte des Blues zusammengestellt.

  • James Montgomery – Jamesmontgomery.Com
    James Montgomery – jamesmontgomery.com When blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first- hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate." Over the years, he's carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene. In 1970, while attending Boston University, Montgomery formed the James Montgomery Band. His inimitable (oh yeah, he majored in English) harmonica playing combined with his incredibly energetic live shows led to the band's quick ascension on the New England music scene. Within two years, the James Montgomery band was among the hottest acts in Boston along with J. Geils and Aerosmith, and they were quickly signed to a multi-album deal with Capricorn Records. Since that time, James has recorded six albums. His first, "First Time Out" has been remastered and re-released by MRG/Capricorn. Other include "James Montgomery Band" on Island Records which was number nine on Billboard's national playlist, "Duck Fever" with members of the David Letterman Band, "Live Trax," with the Uptown Horns (the Rolling Stones' horn section), and his release on Tone-Cool, "The Oven Is On." Montgomery has toured with many major artists, including Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, the Allman Brothers, Steve Miller and others. He has jammed on stage with B.B.King, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Jr.
