Negro music in America; 28

Negro music and America. Or. Negro music in America. An exploration of it and its impact on American culture. Here is your host for the survey's Tony look at Bach. Last week we listened to nigger music as it was heard in Chicago in the 1930s and 1940s. In this program we'll hear the blues as they are sung and played in Chicago today for today in the small clubs and taverns on the south and west sides of Chicago. A group of blues men are making some of the most exciting music to be heard anywhere in this country. The country blues take on a new feeling and emotion and drive in the hands of these men who had their failings in expressing the troubles and tensions of their city ways of life giving us an exciting hybrid style of music. The recordings we hear today were produced by Sam chartered on the vanguard label. Our first number is an original laden song by Junior Wells in his Chicago blues band a tribute to

Sonny Boy Williamson. We want to do this. You know it's not my words but I'm too big. Nice outstanding musician in tribute to him. He's nominated he made I think it will linger you know I was able to graze old bills like this baby. You got to hear me. So why we. Got ahead of me.

During the past few weeks we've come up river from New Orleans to Kansas City Missouri Memphis

Tennessee into Chicago tracing the development of nigger music as we are familiar with it today from today's program on my modern Chicago style blues. We'll go back again in time to the turn of the century and listen to the ragtime music which swept the country and whose influence still lingers in today's music. I won't go so far as to say that ragtime has become popular again but it is having a revival next morass a series of programs a National Educational Television ragtime festival such as a St. Louis festival and dedicated fans and students are playing ragtime more and more and reviving great interest on the part of the young people who missed knowing it because it went out of favor in the 20s. Tune in again next week and listen to some ragtime. Her. Negro music in America with Tony look at Bach for that is transcribed by the

SEIU Radio Network. Got to get into next week as we continue our exploration of the negro and American music. This is the SEIU Broadcasting Service. This program was distributed by national educational radio. This is the National Education already own network.
