Description:
2 CD set "New Orleans was a town belonging to France, Spain and Louisiana well before becoming part of the U.S. and was a great crossroads for many cultural forms which, of course, gave birth to jazz. But in the forties, this birthplace of jazz witnessed the development of a very personal style of blues and rhythm and blues, taking its roots from the motley and cosmopolitan earth of the port. This album covers the original genesis of New Orleans blues, selecting some of the most successful titles" Gerard Herzhaft. Features Champion Jack Dupree, Cousin Joe, Roy Brown, Professor Longhair, Roosevelt Sykes, Fats Domino, Guitar Slim, Little Sonny Jones, George Stevenson, Lil Willie Gibson, Boogie Bill Webb, Annie Laurie, Pee Wee Hughes and many others. |
