yo, i don't like the blues at all, sorry but for work i need to build a better blues collection whats essential?
I suggest you take a second listen. Without the blues there is no jazz. Even if it's only to get a better understanding of the music.
On Ralph J. Gleason's Jazz Casual, Dizzy says jazz is in trouble if it loses the blues because there'd be nothing to hold on to. It's the core of jazz.

Good thread. I'm taking notes.
please refrain from trying to school me shmuck, i know what jazz is and i know where it comes from, i don't like guitars, thats why i don't listen to the blues and i can't stand a harmonica, hence i have no interest in the genre, like many other genres i respect what it was and its influence on the genre i enjoy but i never have the urge to put a blues record on.
Just trying to help, you hamster penis. It's not all about you anyway. Some other people may be reading this who don't know. Take your superior attitude and shove it up your culo.

No doubt about it this thread is guitar heavy. May I suggest:
Piano players: Leroy Carr (Scrapper Blackwell is usually playing guitar)
Otis Spann (His best stuff is with guitar players including Robert Lockwood and Muddy Waters, but you can find solo piano stuff)
Georgia Tom / Thomas Dorsey (Like Leroy Carr this old primative stuff usually with Bill Broonzey playing guitar, he went on to write Presious Lord and is considered the father of gospel music.)
The above are straight forward old style blues guys. A little more sophisticated: Floyd Dixon (Elmore James fans check his sides with EJ.)
Charles Brown
Big Band Blues: Count Basie with Joe Turner or Jimmy Rushing or Billie Holiday.
Jay McShann
T-Bone Walker (His early sides are about the big band not the guitar.)
Johnny Otis (Pre Shuggie)
Bobby Bland
Jazz (Help me out here folks): Jimmy Smith
John Patton
Lots of other guys. I just can't think of titles and names now.
guitar slim green "stone down blues" feat. shuggie otis one of the first records i bought!
I don't know this. Is it a Crown//Kent/United release?
Yes. Crown never had a crack at it, but I think it's from that period in '69-'70 where Johnny Otis was recording and producing a lot of stuff for the Kent label. United later reissued it around '73.

If you're a novice in blues you need to listen to:
Robert Johnson[/b]
Lightning Hopkins
Muddy Waters
Skip James
Buddy Guy
Elmore James
Jimi Hendrix
John Lee Hooker
BB King
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Howling Wolfe
T Bone Walker
these are pretty much the basics.
Lightning Hopkins is my favorite tho, be sure not to miss him.

Some peoples kids.
Yeah, but they all have the same 5 songs on them!
Elmore rules. and "Elmo" James, and "Elmer" James...dude has almost as many pseudonyms as John Lee Hooker!
Here's a few favorites I happily push on everyone:

Well said. And cosign on those that suggested Leroy Carr and Magic Sam.
Anyone: Magic Sam's "Black Magic" is good, too, if you like West Side Blues. And Delmark always kept those suckers in print.
