    Now tell me that Charlie here doesn't sound like he's coming out of the blues?

    Speaking of Slam, he had the bowing humming thing down. Others did it, like Major Holley but Slam was the man, perfect intonation.
    Caught him when he came through as part of the Lionel Hampton All Stars and he stole the show!
    Here he is in Red Norvos band in '45 w all star lineup including Bird and Diz....

    Bill Jennings. "Big Boy" may be his best known number among jump blues lovers.
    Two versions of "Glide On" here.

    Some blues from Herb Ellis.



    The intro to this one, "Sweetheart Blues" always reminds me of Horace Silver

    Not a dobro, a 12-string.

    Teddy Bunn is on this recording, with the fabulous singer and human Hadda Brooks.

    (I myself spent a very memorable month give or take accompanying Our Ms. Brooks at Michael's Pub back in Autumn '93).

    If you've a mind to go to youtube and punch in Hadda Brooks and The Thrill is Gone. (Go for the one w/the pic of Bogart and a woman in a car). She gave me chills singing this every night, rubato w/light strumming and bass bowing. This one will, too. (Might be Sinatra's guitarist Al Viola on it if there's guitar).

    Brief bio: she started as a boogie woogie pianist with 'race record' hits in the early '40s---then someone with some sense listened and realized what a special ballad singer she was. Appeared w/Bogie in In a Lonely Place, had more hits with That's My Desire and Out of The Blue, worked for some years in Australia, and was the first woman of color in the US to host her own TV show...

    Oh, what the hell:



    (Dig especially how she's just about crying on the bridge, then comes way down to finish. What a moment!

    (Edit) No doubt about it---Hadda and Al Viola throughout, with some discreet piano at the very end...

    I learned the hard way that R&B is Gospel on vacation. All that's left of me is the gambler's blues.
    And the lonesome blues
    The old gigolo blues
    The Vegas blues
    The counting California license plate blues
    The gas station blues...

    I started on harmonica, that's all I could afford. Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Sonny Terry, got me on my way in the blues. When I could afford a cheap shitbox guitar, learning to play slide seemed the logical thing to do to make it sound better and play easier. Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell, and all those delta players were my first teachers, and my first love was the delta blues. That's what started it for me as a player.

    Remember everyone, for us older guys, pre-internet was a big challenge to get your hands on stuff to listen to, and the old blues records were not just waiting in the record stores for us to discover. You really had to be a diligent explorer, just like jazz.
