Chicago Blues: Boogie Woogie and Blues

0/5 ( ratings)

The music on this recording is at once far-reaching and intimate. It has a quality enjoyed well beyond contemporary fans of this style of music, and yet this recording gives the listener the sense of being privy to a very precise moment in music history with Memphis Slim as he plays piano.

Slim grew up listening to his father perform blues in various venues in Memphis, Tennessee. He started performing around town at a young age before moving to Chicago at 25.

He is accompanied on this album- the third of his four recordings for Folkways Records - by Arnold “Jump” Jackson and Arbee Stidham . The liner notes feature a biography of Slim by music critic Martin Williams.
