Evocations of The Dance - Part II - A Eudora Welty Playlist

Evocations of The Dance - Part II - A Eudora Welty Playlist If you're wondering what the first Evocations of the Dance post was, click here to find out. The opening of Eudora Welty's Powerhouse (1941) is one of those masterful pieces of writing you come up with in your dreams but which on real paper seem to elude you: He's here on tour from the city – "Powerhouse and His Keyboard" – "Powerhouse and His Tasmanians" – think of the things he calls himself! There's no [...]

Bessie Smith – The Empress Of The Blues

Bessie Smith – The Empress Of The Blues I doubt that anyone reading this actually remembers hearing Bessie Smith in her prime. After all, the lady known as the 'Empress of the Blues' died way back in 1937. But she is a much-revered member of the Grammy Hall Of Fame (established to honor artists from the early days) and is now recognized as the first modern female blues star. Bessie Smith rose from humble beginnings, growing up as an orphan in 1890s era Chattanooga, but she did have some support from older siblings. In fact, as she grew into a teenager it was [...]

Soundtrack: Water for Elephants

I have not seen the new film, Water for Elephants, which is based on Sara Gruen's novel. However, I have greatly enjoyed listening to the movie's soundtrack. The original score by composer James Newton Howard is a lovely collection of instrumentals both serene and dramatic. The rest of the album features Depression-era jazz and blues, [...]

Les Indispensables Blues - 1ère Partie

Les Indispensables Blues - 1ère Partie Ce billet est la première partie d'une sorte de rétrospective du blues au travers de ses principaux protagonistes. J'étais partie pour ne faire qu'une playlist de 21 "indispensables", mais finalement j'ai décidé de prendre mon temps. Deux ou trois autres billets suivront celui-ci et j'espère ainsi vous montrer à quel point cette musique est passionnante. Je ne vais pas vous raconter toute l'histoire, sachez seulement que la musique blues est née à la fin du 19ème siècle dans le sud des Etats-Unis par la population afro-américaine. Les fameux "spirituals", les chants africains, les chants de travail sont les [...]

Bessie Smith : Muddy Waters

Bessie Smith : Muddy Waters Rotten Tomatoes Bessie Smith died in Clarksville, Mississippi, in 1937, and it is said that 10,000 adoring fans attended her funeral. Amazing in view that as stated as fact, she was buried in an unmarked grave, and only got a tombstone later, many decades afterward from Janis Joplin, who was influenced so greatly by Bessie. The fact that she was buried with no tombstone after recording 160 songs, sounds so unfair to me. Bessie in a sense lives on in her music ,still inspiring many singers of the blues and artist of other genres [...]

Blues Standards : Ain't Nobody's Business

Blues Standards : Ain't Nobody's Business Bessie Smith - T'ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do ( buy ) (1923) Jimmy Witherspoon - Ain't Nobody's Business ( buy ) (1947) Here's one of these blues standards that was sung by almost everybody. If you think it's by Eric Clapton, you're wrong (again)... The theme of this song is universal and holds in the title : it's a song of freedom. Freedom from the universal "what will the neighbors say ?". That's the reason why it became so popular among the [...]
