Crack of Dawn (Sun, July 1 at 2 p.m. ) By being the first Canadian black band to sign with a major label, Crack of Dawn made it possible for other black, local and indie acts to cross over into the mainstream. Formed in Toronto in 1974, their funk-RnB-disco blend quickly developed a large following on the local club scene and eventually attracted Columbia Records, who signed the band in 1975. The band performed through the 70s and into the 80s, reuniting in the latter half of the decade before its members went on to various mainly music-related, careers. This show is a reunion more than 25 years in the making.

  • Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

  • Blues Legacy of Phil Wiggins | Smithsonian Folkways Magazine
    Winter 2018 Blues Legacy of Phil Wiggins by Jeff Place When one thinks of country blues, the usual thought is of the music of the Mississippi Delta. While many wonderful blues men and women have come out of the Delta over the last century, there has been a wonderful parallel style that exists on the East Coast of the United States, “East Coast blues,” or more recently called “Piedmont Blues”. The Piedmont is a geographic region that exists up and down the East Coast between the coastal tidewater region and the Appalachian Mountains. It includes the cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. In the twentieth century many African Americans left the racial climate of the south and moved north to eastern cities like Washington. There were defense jobs in Washington and Baltimore to be had. Some of the great early East Coast blues musicians were Blind Blake from Florida, Willie McTell from Atlanta, Blind Boy Fuller and Sonny Terry from Durham, and Brownie McGhee from Knoxville. Phil Wiggins was born in Washington, D.C. in May of 1954. There was music in the house, his father, a government worker with the Department of the Interior, played piano. The Piedmont blues scene has always been strong, and still is, around Washington. In the 9th grade he discovered the harmonica and shortly thereafter met his first musical partner, Flora Molton, a street evangelist who played on an F Street corner in the shopping district. He began to play harmonica with Molton. From 1972 to 1976, he accompanied Molton at the then Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife.

  • " African Blues": the Sound and History of a Transatlantic Discourse
    “African Blues”: The Sound and History of a Transatlantic Discourse A thesis submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Saul Meyerson-Knox BA, Guilford College, 2007 Committee Chair: Stefan Fiol, PhD Abstract This thesis explores the musical style known as “African Blues” in terms of its historical and social implications. Contemporary West African music sold as “African Blues” has become commercially successful in the West in part because of popular notions of the connection between American blues and African music. Significant scholarship has attempted to cite the “home of the blues” in Africa and prove the retention of African music traits in the blues; however much of this is based on problematic assumptions and preconceived notions of “the blues.” Since the earliest studies, “the blues” has been grounded in discourse of racial difference, authenticity, and origin-seeking, which have characterized the blues narrative and the conceptualization of the music. This study shows how the bi-directional movement of music has been used by scholars, record companies, and performing artist for different reasons without full consideration of its historical implications. i Copyright © 2013 by Saul Meyerson-Knox All rights reserved. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Stefan Fiol for his support, inspiration, and enthusiasm. Dr. Fiol introduced me to the field of ethnomusicology, and his courses and performance labs have changed the way I think about music.

PRESIDENT | Woody Guthrie Foundation FOUNDER & DIRECTOR | Woody Guthrie Archives (1992-2013) Nora Guthrie graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 1971. Following a successful career in modern dance Nora began working with her father’s materials in 1992. Based on her intimate connection to her father’s ideas and ideals, Nora brings a refreshing interpretation of his work and a new understanding of his legacy. Her first project, in 1992, was the publication of a lost songbook of Woody’s original lyrics and illustrations, Woody’s 20 Grow Big Songs.

  • Dal Mali Al Mississipi (2002) Scorsese Sulle Tracce Del Blues
    Dal Mali al Mississipi (2002) Scorsese sulle tracce del Blues.. Un film di Martin Scorsese Genere Documentario musicale durata 90 minuti. Produzione USA 2002. Un viaggio dalle origini e attraverso la storia del Blues, letteralmente e metaforicamente percorso da Scorsese tra le sponde del Niger in Mali e i juke joint del delta del Mississipi. Marco Cavalleri - www.mymovies.it Il contributo di Martin Scorsese al grande progetto "il Blues". Un viaggio che parte dal Mississippi e giunge fino al Mali, alla ricerca delle radici di una musica che non è solo di genere, ma rappresenta un importante pezzo di cultura popolare americana e mondiale. Lungo il suo poetico viaggio Scorsese incontra personaggi fondamentali quali Corey Harris, Taj Majal, Othar Turner, Pat Thomas, Sam Carr, Dick Waterman, Ali Farka Tourè, Habib Koitè, Salif Keita, Toumani Diabaté. Né manca il ricordo di chi - da Hooker a Johnson - ha codificato il blues rendendolo la musica che ancor oggi ascoltiamo. Chi a questo punto temesse di assistere a una sorta di bigino per immagini si rassicuri: L'intento del regista italo - americano è tutt'altro. Quello di dimostrare che la musica è pur sempre la forma più immediata di trasmissione culturale, che le culture possono essere sradicate dalla loro terra d'origine ma non possono perdersi. Finendo per approdare a una forma di commovente ecumenismo, che non riguarda solo i neri divisi tra Africa e America. Tra rare immagini di repertorio e momenti di vera e propria "comunione"(l'incontro tra Ali Farka Toure e il narratore Corey Harris)un piccolo capolavoro, tutt'altro che per soli appassionati.

  • El Blues Del S.XXI. Corey Harris Y Guy Davis
    Reportaje EL Blues del siglo XXI Corey Harris / Guy Davies ace unos cinco años el panorama del blues contemporáneo era, la verdad, bastante decepcionante. Sí, quedaban las viejas glorias, algunas todavía en forma, que de vez en cuando sacaban un disco aceptable. Pero también estaban Hlos pesados de la Stratocaster, empeñados en despilfarrar y malvender la herencia de su abuelo Hendrix y su padre Vaugham; estaban los segundones rehabilitados y vendidos como números uno, que nos daban la lata tocando durante dos horas la misma canción acompañados de bandas de rubios de saldo; y los voluntariosos pálidos que sabían de memoria cada nota y cada susurro que grabaron sus ídolos, y se empeñaban en demostrarlo una y otra vez en un ejercicio de mimetismo estéril. Entonces es cuando comenzaron a aparecer algunos jóvenes negros herederos legítimos de un valiosísimo legado, y que sabían qué hacer con él. Hombres que conocían el verdadero blues y lo respetaban, pero que demostraban ser capaces de elegir ese lenguaje y hablarlo con osadía y descaro (como ese que coge un tema de Robert Johnson y le cambia la letra cantando algo así como "mi chica se ha ido y aún no me ha mandado un e-mail) , dotándole de nueva vida. Corey Harris, Guy Davies, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Chris Thomas king, y Keb Mo son algunos de ellos. Últimamente hemos tenido la suerte de ver actuar en Bilbao a los dos primeros. No quisimos perdernos la ocasión y hablamos con ellos. Robert Johnson suda la camiseta calles de Nueva Orleans, a modo de homena- eléctricos y variopintos.
