    Grahambop - loved your photos, especially of Muddy and Chuck. And I was just about to share Mannish Boy. What a great album that was/is!

    Anyway, here's Johnny. Always preferred him over Stevie.

    I actually worked this one out pretty well when I was 15:

Even the great musicologist and composior André Hodeir (Ana Livia Plurabelle, Bitter Ending, from James Joyce), admirer of Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker, and great connoisseur of contemporary composition Art music, is sning himself on this subject (book Hommes et problèmes du Jazz, 1954)

    from this point of view, I rather agree with Joelf

    moreover, "Roots" has a relatively precise meaning about the history of the American Black People
    Hemiola: do you know about it? Anyone else? Got something to do with harmony and micro-pitches? Anyway, I think it's different than Western tempered pitch, or is it?

    Edumacate me...

    OK, wags---here's a poser:

    If Western diatonic harmony dictates that I is major and V major or dominant---how do you explain the blues form?

    He came a good ways from this (-not that there's anything wrong with it!)

    Need some Professor Longhair here.

    Love the "mambo-rhumba-boogie thing" ( as Allen Touissaint called it) that 'Fess played so well.

    From "Rock 'n' Roll Gumbo".

    Professor Longhair: piano, vocals, whistling. Snooks Eaglin played guitar with him on many classic sides. Dr. John played guitar for him too. (Dr. John started as a guitar player.) Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown also played guitar for Professor Longhair.

    Hollywood Fats left us too soon.

    Here's Fats with Muddy (and Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin) in 1973. (Fats is not featured here at all; this is more to place him in context.)




    And one of Fats' best known cuts with his own band.
