Jazz Fundamentals
"Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at night. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it." John Lee Hooker
It’s the music that speaks for the broken-hearted, the down-and-outs, the weary, and anybody who’s been chewed up and spit out by this very blue world. But it ain’t just about sob stories and tales of woe, the Blues also lifts us up by our bootstraps and gives us that kick in the ass that’s always a step in the right direction!
Rhino is proud to present a who’s who of Blues masters, including Lightnin’ Hopkins, Elmore James, Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, and the list goes on!
