Sunnyland Slim Blues Band

CHICAGO JUMP

Evidence   1995

Notes: Born Albert Luandrew in Vance, Mississippi on September 5, 1907, the towering 88s ace was a true titan of the Chicago Blues scene for more than half a century.  His thundering ivories played an integral role in the development of C hicago blues during its fertile post-war period.  Sunnyland was an amazingly prolific sideman on countless recording sessions and bandstands, while his own roof-raising vocals and enduring compositions enriched the genre considerably.

One of most-prized musical experiences was seeing and hearing Big Joe Turner backed by The Blasters in the mid-80's, at Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd. In the band at that time was Lee Allen, the sax player on many of Little Richard's Specialty recordings. An incredible night of music!

Sitting around a little table right above the dance floor were members of Joe's family. The men were in suits, the women very "dolled up", wearing those little hats with attached "veils", little mink stoles wrapped around their shoulders. It looked like a scene from an old movie!

That does it, I'm un-following.  Try to enjoy the music folks.
