Descripción de contraportada
At last--a major update of Rhythm and Blues in New Orleans by author and music researcher John Broven has arrived! Originally published in Great Britain in 1974 under the title Walking to New Orleans and later inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, the now-expanded book features new information, research, and interviews, capturing the magic that created the New Orleans sound heard around the world.
Broven shares the careers and music of the major and lesser-known R&B artists and history of the New Orleans music industry. Focusing on the independent record business featuring iconic labels such as Imperial, Specialty, Atlantic, and Chess, he chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the local R&B scene, highly influential in rock 'n' roll and soul, from the early recordings of the 1940s to the studio missteps in the late 1960s.
Many artistic leaders are highlighted, such as Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Dave Bartholomew, Huey "Piano" Smith, Allen Toussaint, Harold Battiste, Wardell Quezergue, Dr. John, and legendary soundman Cosimo Matassa.
Updates to the overview include new input from Jeff Hannusch, Rick Coleman, Ben Sandmel, and Ira "Dr. Ike" Padnos, including information on the support from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, community radio station WWOZ, and Offbeat magazine. More than one hundred photographs, a comprehensive appendix featuring a list of hit R&B records produced in New Orleans, and new biographical data make this an indispensable book for music lovers and researchers everywhere.
