The Blues.

What's music?

 By reading or telling the term it self, we can sense a some kind of rhytmic alphabet within the word , but when its general meaning is narrowed into the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity, that is all shiffted and driffted into The kind of music that takes ones soul into the 7th upper sky.

The Blues ...















The history of blues came floating from the long years of slavery, when you think of it, its a mixured of misfortune, grief, and betrayle, you break up with your love one, you get the blues, you lose your job, you get the blues, and so on.

Music gave birth to the blues in the Mississippi Delta, quit up from New Orleans, the exact birthplace of Jazz. Blues and Jazz have always been a complementary, and they still get along in countless ways today. During the middle to late 1800s, the Deep South was welcoming hundreds of originative bluesmen who contributed to shape the music. Unfortunately, much of this conceptive music followed these tilling to their graves. But the legacy of these earliest blues foreshadows can still be seen and heard in 1920s and '30s recordings from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and other Southern states.

Nowdays, there are several shades of the blues. Forms include

• Cool blues- A sophisticated piano-based form that owes much to jazz.

• 
  

• Jump blues - A danceable amalgam of swing and blues and a precursor to R&B. Jump blues was pioneered by Louis Jordan.

• 
  

• Boogie-woogie - A piano-based blues popularized by Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson, and derived from barrelhouse and ragtime.

• 
  

• Traditional county blues - A general term that describes the rural blues of the Mississippi Delta, the Piedmont and other rural locales;

• Chicago blues - Delta blues electrified;

• West Coast blues - Popularized mainly by Texas musicians who moved to California. West Coast blues is heavily influenced by the swing beat.
