Il bus arrivò e andò, ma di Lester nessuna traccia. Mentre chiedevo informazioni presso lo sportello, un passeggero che era appena uscito dallo stesso bus mi sentì e disse che a bordo c&#8217;era un ragazzo nero, alto e magro, che sembrava addormentato. Doveva essere lui!

Pubblicato nel 2008 da un&#8217;etichetta francese, Important Artist, e prodotto da Gilles Pétard, lo stesso che ha compilato la monumentale serie The Chronological Classics, rappresenta l&#8217;inizio della leggenda. La discografia di Longhair, se ripulita da certe pubblicazioni postume eccedenti, è tutta più o meno valida, quindi ho optato per questo doppio in cui sono contenute le sue prime incisioni originali da &#8220;artista locale&#8221;, la maggior parte brani che poi farà in nuove versioni durante la sua... <a href="http://www.bluesreviews.it/recensioni/professor-longhair-49-57-recordings.html" rel="bookmark">Leggi il resto</a></p><p><a href="http://www.bluesreviews.it">BLUESREVIEWS - Room with a view of the blues</a></p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bluesreviews.it/recensioni/professor-longhair-49-57-recordings.html/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mark Slim Band &#8211; Katrina</title><link>http://www.bluesreviews.it/made-in-italy/mark-slim-band-katrina.html</link> <comments>http://www.bluesreviews.it/made-in-italy/mark-slim-band-katrina.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:25:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Sugarbluz</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MADE IN ITALY]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cool blues]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hurricane Katrina]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jump blues]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas blues]]></category> <category><![CDATA[west coast blues]]></category> <category><![CDATA[western swing]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.bluesreviews.it/?p=5976</guid> <description><![CDATA[<img width="72" height="63" src="http://www.bluesreviews.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Mark-Slim-150x133.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Mark Slim Band, Katrina" title="Mark Slim Band, Katrina" /><p>Registrato live in tre riprese tra il 2008 e il 2009 in uno studio di Padova, ma con la mente e il cuore oltreoceano. Mark Slim (Marco Carraro) non ha ancora 30 anni, ma da tempo ha subìto la fascinazione del blues. A 10 anni già strimpellava Lightnin&#8217; Hopkins, e a 21 era in volo verso Austin, Texas, per prendere lezioni alla scuola di Ted Hall e facendo pratica direttamente nei locali della città.

Morganfield di registrare una canzone per lui, nessuno poteva immaginare che entrambi, in quel momento, 31 agosto 1941, stavano dando inizio ad un capitolo importante non solo nella storia del blues, ma della musica moderna intera. Lomax era accompagnato da colui che aveva iniziato la spedizione in &#8220;terra santa&#8221;, John Wesley Work III, un professore afroamericano della Fisk University, e McKinley &#8216;Muddy Water&#8217; (allora senza l&#8217;esse finale), quando seppe che... <a href="http://www.bluesreviews.it/recensioni/robert-gordon-hoochie-coochie-man.html" rel="bookmark">Leggi il resto</a></p><p><a href="http://www.bluesreviews.it">BLUESREVIEWS - Room with a view of the blues</a></p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bluesreviews.it/recensioni/robert-gordon-hoochie-coochie-man.html/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
