Dans les années 50,
je découvre le jazz par la radio : les émissions d’Hugues Panassié, de Daniel Filipacchi et Frank Ténot, de Reymond Colbert, de Demètre
Ioakimidis, The Voice of America, etc…
Par le disque : Fats Domino (fan de toujours), Chuck, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Bo Diddley…
La soul aussi avec Joe Tex, Otis Redding, Aretha, Solomon Burke, Ike & Tina…
Et surtout par les concerts : j’ai eu la chance de voir Hampton, Bechet, Armstrong, Kid Ory, George Lewis, Sammy Price, Basie, Duke,
Joe Turner… (pour les plus marquants).
Dans les années 60,
les tournées légendaires de l’American Folk Blues Festival (pas manqué un seul concert) sont une véritable révélation : Muddy, Otis
Spann, John Lee Hooker, Sonny Boy, Koko Taylor, Champion Jack Dupree, Magic Sam, etc, etc…
Aussi Ray Charles, Howlin’ Wolf, Erroll Garner, Earl Hines, Willie « the Lion », Eddie Boyd, Curtis Jones, Clifton Chenier, BB King…
Autre découverte, le gospel, concert extraordinaire avec le Reverend Kelsey, les Original Five Blind Boys…
Egalement les Harlem Swing Dancers : Baby Laurence, Jimmy Slyde, Buster Brown, Chuck Greene, Illinois Jacquet, Milt Buckner…
Fidèle lecteur de la revue Soul Bag dès le N° 1 (décembre 1968) qui me tient au courant de toute l’actualité du blues.
Dans les années 70,
Gatemouth Brown, King Curtis, Memphis Slim, Willie Mabon, Freddie et Albert King, Professor Longhair, Dr John, Allen Toussaint,
Louisiana Red, Little Willie Littlefield, Floyd Dixon, Luther Allison, Albert Collins, Cousin Joe, l’inoubliable James Booker !
En 1978 débute ma collection d’enregistrements video VHS…
Dans les années 80,
les tournées du Chicago Blues Festival : JB Hutto, Magic Slim, John Littlejohn, Luther Johnson Jr…
Aussi Panama Francis, Roy Milton, Jimmy Dawkins, Sonny Rhodes, Piano Red, Axel Zwingenberger, Katie Webster, Diz Watson, Dana
Gillespie, Liz McComb…
Dans les années 90,
le Mojo Blues Band, Tommy Ridgley, Marva Wright, Booker T. Laury, Big Joe Duskin, Henry Gray, Linda Hopkins…
En relation avec d’autres amateurs du monde entier et au fil du temps, ma collection s’est encore agrandie…

I never that so many perfomancfes had been shot of Dr John playing solo piano in the mid-80s. Tonight I plan to watch Jools Holland's piano and also many people on the third disc who I have never seen before. I also look forward to listening to Errol Dixon who I've never heard before.

…Wow, that was quick! I can't wait to see the video. The Brotherhood singers are not only great singers, they are wonderful men. The all live near me, in a little community that is about a hundred years old but has been surrounded by suburban development, a mysterious and fascinating place where you seem to go back in time. They are all kind, funny, good-hearted men. When I first heard them sing about 25 years ago, I was immediately won over, and I have been following them around ever since then.
The next time you and your wife come to the U.S. you will have to come to Charleston.
Thank you again.
