  • Has There Ever, in the History of 20Th Century Music, Ever Been a More Influential Organisation Than That of the American Folk Blues Festivals (AFBF)?
    Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Sonny Boy Williamson Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy Otis Spann a.m.m. ACT 6000-2 Release Date: 24. May 2004 Has there ever, in the history of 20th century music, ever been a more influential organisation than that of the American Folk Blues Festivals (AFBF)? Founded in 1962, this series has surely had a lasting effect on the European, American, and indeed interational, music scenes. Where would hip hop, jazz, funk, rock, heavy metal or world music be without the blues? Blues is the foundation of the popular music of the 20th century. Its intensity, rhythms and harmonies have affected many peoples and culture, up to and including the music of Africa, the alkand and Spanish flamenco. The blues captures the sentiments of the people in a nutshell. Of course, in the beginning it was just a feeling. But not just of the blues, but also of emptiness. The idea of tracking down and bringing surviving blues legends to Europe was that of jazz publicist Joachim Ernst Berendt at the end of the 1950s. The new style of rock 'n' roll was beginning to take a foothold, jazz was in the mean time beginning to be celebrated in Europe, but all too little was heard of the blues, despite itself being the musical foundation of jazz and rock 'n' roll. It was up to Horst Lippmann and his partner Fritz Rau to realise the idea of the AFBF and bring the best Afro- american blues performers to concert halls (!) for a European audience. First they contacted Willie Dixon.

  • The John Ulrich Piano Series Presents
    The John Ulrich Piano Series Presents Sunday, November 1, at 2:00 PM Advanced reservations required $25.00 per person “Applying his strong left hand to jazz standards and boogie woogie alike, for a most appreciative audience” Jazz Times French pianist Philippe LeJeune is a perfect example of the mixture of jazz and blues that was especially an important strain in the jazz tradition. In 1968 the young pianist attended a concert in Reims, France, by master boogie-woogie and blues pianist Memphis Slim, and immediately put an end to his classical efforts and began teaching himself the blues, scouring local record shops for LP’s by boogie woogie greats. In 1980 he was invited by Memphis Slim who had been a Parisian citizen since 1962 to cut an album titled Dialog In Boogie as a piano duet. Philippe is one of those rare European pianists who is able to take part in the grand tradition of American jazz mixing swing, a sense of melody and the blues. His playing is always a brilliant assortment of sobriety and expressiveness. He plays blues and boogie-woogie with a light, almost delicate touch, and weaves subtle, varied right-hand figures around the solid left- hand boogie-woogie beat. His repertoire ranges from classic barrelhouse boogie woogie piano to Duke Ellington and Horace Silver tunes as well those of Milt Jackson and George Gershwin. Philippe explores an impressive variety of blues styles and grooves, leaving listeners with a happy feeling. Philippe LeJeune has released six CD’s in the United States, among them a live recording in trio at the Blue Moon in Houston, Texas.

  • The Music of Rhythm Willie Can Be at Once a Blues Harmonica Fan's Most Exciting and Most Frustrating Discovery
    Copyright Scott Dirks, for Blues & Rhythm magazine The music of Rhythm Willie can be at once a blues harmonica fan's most exciting and most frustrating discovery. His recordings reveal a technically accomplished and musically innovative player, with few peers on the standard 10-hole Marine Band harmonica in his day. A strong case can be made for his position as the first truly urban blues harp player; at a time when the harmonica was still used in black music essentially for 'country' adornment, Rhythm Willie was utilizing it with the urbanity of a jazz trumpeter or clarinetist. Yet until recently almost nothing was known of him other than the sound of his harmonica in the grooves of a handful of rare 78s recorded in Chicago between 1939 and 1950. Overlooked by blues researchers and historians for over 40 years, mention of his name draws only blank expressions or resigned shrugs from most blues authorities. Listening for biographical clues in his music reveals virtually nothing about the artist--his only recordings as a leader were all instrumentals. Further compounding the mystery, most of Willie's appearances as an accompanist on the recordings of other blues artists are attributed to "unknown harmonica" or "possibly Lee McCoy" in published discographies (a situation which this article will examine and attempt to rectify.) In fact, given his extraordinary range and talent, referring to Rhythm Willie as simply a "blues" harmonica player might be slightly unfair, and in retrospect it's easy to imagine that Willie himself may have gone to some lengths to avoid being classified with the blues harp players he probably considered to be his musically less sophisticated country cousins.

  • Caldonia”—Louis Jordan (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Koch (Guest Post)*
    “Caldonia”—Louis Jordan (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Koch (guest post)* Louis Jordan Original label “Caldonia” film poster, 1945 “Caldonia” (originally titled “Caldonia Boogie”) became one of Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five’s most enduring hits. The song, with its lyrical catchphrase “Caldon-YAH! Caldon-YAH! What makes your big head so hard!?” set America on its ear and spawned endless cover versions, two of which competed directly with Jordan’s version in 1945. The song had been in Jordan’s repertoire since at least the summer of 1944, when he recorded it for use on a December airing of “Jubilee!,” an Armed Forces Radio Service show for African- American servicemen. In January, 1945 he recorded it for Decca, but the label first released a pairing of Jordan’s “Mop! Mop!” and “You Can’t Get That No More” that became a major hit that winter, and perhaps delayed the release of “Caldonia.” In February, Jordan filmed a performance of it for a short film of the same name, which hit theaters in March. In late Feburary, white bandleader Woody Herman recorded a modern jazz-tinged arrangement by Ralph Burns, who’d heard Jordan perform it live. Herman’s version hit the stores at about the time that African-American bandleader Erskine Hawkins recorded a version for RCA-Victor at the end of March. Decca, perhaps feeling the pressure, released Jordan’s definitive small group version at almost the same time that Hawkins’ disc came out in mid-April. Surprisingly, all three versions of the tunes were hits.

  • Memphis Slim in Paris
    MEMPHIS SLIM IN PARIS By Alan Swyer in person, these annual events featured some intriguing onstage pairings, among them Slim with T-Bone Walker, plus Muddy Waters together with Sonny Boy Williamson. But whereas artists like John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Big Mama Thornton, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and Koko Taylor came to Europe to play the festivals, then took their cash and headed back home, Memphis Slim chose not to get back on a plane. Instead, liking the life he found in Europe - and especially in France - he set up residence in Paris. According to lore, American musicians who became expatriates in France over the years did so to escape the racism they had been subjected to at home. While that may have been true in various degrees for Josephine Baker, Sidney Bechet and others, such was hardly the case with Memphis Slim. His decision, he told me, was based on the realisation that the passage of time, coupled with the emergence of rock’n’roll, had made life tough for blues musicians, even giants like Muddy and Wolf. Instead of being forced to scuffle through the fall and winter in the States while waiting to pack his bags for summer festivals, he had discovered that rarest of combinations for an artist: continuity and respect. “Back home I’d either be sitting around or hustling,” he said with a shrug one evening. “But here I work all I want, eat tons of great food, and keep on having Memphis Slim. From the B&R Archive. fun.” “You’re a living legend,” I said playfully.
