The original country blues of the late 19th century was guitar based music, rustic but deeply soulful in flavor, played by itinerant black musicians who traveled the Southland singing and playing for tips at country stores, turpentine camps, and Saturday night fish fries.
Later, in the years before the First World War, blues music was introduced in vaudville tent shows and theaters, wher it exhibited a stylistic bradening under the influence of composers like Clarence Williams, Spencer Willimas and W.C. Handy. In the early 1920s recorded blues music became the latest rage, and by this time tje exciting new ideas of Louis Armstrong and other sphisticated pioneers of improvisation had been incorpoated into the bles language.
Blues and jazz music are versatile and adaptable art foms that aloow the blending of the old and the new. This book features a set of timeless blues standards - many fo which were played and sung by bles and jazz trailblazers - interpreted in the modern electric guitar solo style that had its genesis in the early 1930s. |
