VA - Let Me Tell You About The Blues : Chicago [3 CD, 2010]

 

People call Chicago The Home Of The Blues. It may not be where the blues came from but it s where the blues came to live. It’s the place where Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Jimmy Reed laid down the songs that inspired the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. The blues was the bedrock on which Jimmy Page created Led Zeppelin, the band that helped to change pop music forever. Chicago was the mecca for Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Elmore James and a host of others who arrived in the city to make their fortune. The process had begun decades earlier, when record companies first came to town.

Eighty years have passed since Papa Charlie Jackson, Leroy Carr, Big Bill Broonzy, Tampa Red and Ma Rainey championed the new music they called the blues. Men like Kokomo Arnold, Big Joe Williams, Sleepy John Estes, Sonny Boy Williamson and Big Boy Crudup were the stars of their day, and don’t forget ladies like Memphis Minnie and Georgia White.

The Evolution of Chicago Blues 1925-1958 is the first chapter in LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE BLUES, a series of multi-CD sets that will celebrate the blues as it was made in the cities and states of America. Each will provide an historic overview of the ways in which the music developed through the middle decades of the 20th century. Don’t see it as an education. Sit back and be entertained.

VA- Chicago Blues Box [8 CD, 2013]

 

The brief and dazzling life of MCM Records was a labor of love that captured many treasurable live performances from the last flowering of the classic Chicago Blues age. A young French woman Marcelle Chailleux Morgantini was married to Jacques Morgantini who changed her life into American jazz and blues.

Guitarist Jimmy Dawkins was a good friend and helped them in Chicago to meet and hear the many good blues musicians that played at the different clubs in Chicago. Marcelle returned from her Chicago pilgrimage filled with excitement. Says Jacques Morgantini: It was the year of Marcelle’s 50th birthday and she came into some money from her family. She said to me, “I do not want an expensive coat or jewels – I want to go to Chicago to record the blues. She knew that it could only be done if she had her own record label and complete artistic control. Marcelle made three trips to Chicago in 1975,1976 and 1977 and arrived with her Nagra machine, a small mixing desk and a selection of microphones.

She recorded live: Magic Slim, Big Mojo Elem,John Littlejohn, Eddie Clearwater,Eddie Taylor, Bobby King,Jimmy Johnson, Luther Johnson Jr.,Willie Kent, James Lyons,Hip Lankchan,Big Vocie Odom,Bluebloos McMahon, Joe Carter and Jimmy Dawkins at “Ma Bea’s”, “Golden Slipper”, “Queen Bea’s”, and “Big Duke’s”, on Chicago west and south side. Many of the blues musicians had not recorded before and can only been found on the Storyville label that issued all the recordings on CD’s. She was at the right place at the right time.

VA - Let Freedom Sing! - Music of the Civil Rights Movement (OST, 3 CD, 2009)

 Let Freedom Sing tells the story of the civil rights movement as never before! It sweeps us to the heart of the movement in the 1960s and explores its continuing impact on music, politics and culture in the decades that followed.

The film chronicles a musical and cultural past of those who cried out in song against inequality, poverty, war, and in support of workers, civil and human rights. From the beginnings of the Civil Rights Era to Watergate — creative pioneers in gospel, blues, R&B and pop brought music, medium and message together as never before, composing a soundtrack perfectly tuned to the tempo and pulse of its time. The film includes narrative of voices ranging from those of former Mississippi Freedom Riders who sang every day as they risked life and limb, to Grammy-winning artists and musicians who continue to pen inspired lyrics and songs capable of moving a nation, if not the world.
