Jazz for aficionados
I often reach for T-Bone Walker when I want to hear blues with elements of jazz.

Rok, Pops was born and raised (and imprisoned) in the Delta. In his youth, he feared leaving N.O. at all. He eventually gave it a shot when he was invited to play jazz on riverboats. Once summoned to join King Oliver's band in Chicago in 1922, the cat was out of the bag. https://www.louisarmstronghouse.org/biography/ |
The Mississippi River Delta, includes land on both sides of the Mississippi River. It includes several states. Arkansas and Louisiana being among them. The Mississippi (the State) Delta, extends from just south of Memphis, TN to Vicksburg, MS. I have a Mississippi Delta Blues Map that I purchased from the museum in Clarksdale, MS. I was stunned at the number of Blues musicians from the same area. Not from the entire state of Mississippi, just the delta region of Mississippi. Pops was not born nor raised in that Delta. https://www.google.com/search?q=mississippi+delta+blues+map&sxsrf=ALeKk00CV8iItoCIlGfmyzP0dlglmf... Cheers |
