 Best of the Blues:
Submitted on: 2007-05-14 |

What made me purchase this CD was from a movie I saw on Tv called "St. Louis Blues" starring Nat King Cole. 1944b/w.
It was of coarse the life story of W.C. Handy from Memphis Tennessee, who came from a strick religious background and developed the love for Jazz and the Blues. I watched this movie as I was trying to understand the nature of his dad who was a preacher in Memphis and wanted his son to follow in his footsteps to spread the word of the Lord.
But he didn't and went in another direction and his pursuit of Jazz. |

| This CD is an excellent and an authenic display of W.C. Handy's wonderful compositions. Many blues and jazz musicians have covered these wonderful tunes throughout the 20th and now 21st century but few have heard what these songs originally sounded like. By using the instrumention of the original W.C. Handy band and through clever arrangemnts by Carl Wolfe, this CD is a musical reenactment of how the W.C. Handy band sounded back in the 1910's and early 20's. Each song on this CD has been a musical gem since its publishing(these songs range from 1909 to 1932) but being able to hear them in their original form is a true treat. I feel that the music of W.C. Handy is entertaining, fun, and timeless. This CD can be enjoyed by anyone who likes music. Also, if you would like the sheet music to these great songs I recommend the book "Blues: An Anthology" by W.C. Handy. |
