NEW YORK BLUES

Description:
2 CD set These 48 recordings, all made in New York City between 1949 and 1954 illustrate just how relatively small a coterie of musicians were involved in producing Blues and R&B records in that City. Most of the artists featured here display varying degrees of regional styles but nothing could actually be described as 'New York Blues' because there literally was no such thing. The closest the city had to a "style" is that commonly known as Piedmont. This style of blues was popular in the Carolina areas and when many of its black residents migrated to New York the style went with them.
