 | | Musically, too, the blues is perennial: a pattern, a structured foundation at least as old as any facet of jazz - in fact, almost certainly older, since "Frankie and Johnny", essentially a blues in its harmonic form, has been a part of our folklore well over a century. |
 | | The first tangible evidence of the blues, of course, can be heard on phonograph records, played or sung by fl and white musicians during the past half century. |
 | | Only during the past few years has a new phenomenon arisen, characterized and peopled by young white performers who have listened to the records of the past masters and have managed somehow to acquire a compellingly natural feeling for what had always been, to most whites, an alien aspect of the blues ethos. |
