	Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blues is sometimes danced as an informal type of swing dancing with no fixed patterns and a heavy focus on connection, sensuality and improvisation, often with body contact.
		One kind of early 1940s urban blues was the jump blues, a style heavily influenced by big band music and characterized by the use of the guitar in the rhythm section, a jazzy, up-tempo sound, declamatory vocals and the use of the saxophone or other brass instruments.
		Another important style of 1940s urban blues was boogie-woogie, a style characterized by a regular bass figure, an ostinato and the most familiar example of shifts of level, in the left hand which elaborates on each chord and trills and decorations from the right hand.

	The Blues . Blues Classroom . Glossary \| PBS
		In the blues, the call and response structure may have derived in part from work and gospel songs, and is particularly prominent in Delta blues and styles arising from it, in which the solo performer often uses his guitar to respond to, and sometimes even complete, his vocal line.
		The Delta blues style comes from a region in the southern part of Mississippi, a place romantically referred to as "the land where the blues was born." In its earliest form, the style became the first fl guitar-dominated music to make it onto phonograph records back in the late 1920s.
		In jazz and blues, for example, familiar forms may be utilized throughout a song, but the singer may alter the lyrics to better suit their mood, and the instrumentalists may take solos of a length and direction that is entirely determined by them.

		Led Zeppelin was a British band noted for their innovative, influential approach to heavy blues-rock and as one of the most popular and influential bands of the 1970s.
		Its combination of blues and rock influences with distorted amplification made it one of the pivotal records in the evolution of heavy metal music.
		The British press reported in 2002 that Plant and Jones had reconciled after a 20-year feud that had kept Led Zeppelin apart, and rumours surfaced of a reunion tour in 2003.

		But by the time of the blues revival of the mid-'60s, British guitarists -- in the main led by Eric Clapton -- were starting to bend the form to create their own amalgam.
		Between 1964 and 1966, the British bands dominated the American charts, as well as the charts in the U.K. In that time, there was a second wave of British Invasion bands -- such as the Who and the Zombies -- which was indebted to both American rock and British Invasion pop.
		Usually, these are rare British blues and garage rock, bands that sounded a bit like the Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, or the Bluesbreakers, but occasionally some of the tougher Merseybeat bands fit this category, too.

	British Blues Rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The British blues scene grew up in the late 1950's around ex-skiffle band players Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies, and later coalesced around John Mayall's pioneering band The Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones.
		One side-effect of the British Invasion of America of the mid 1960's - the music of The Rolling Stones and Cream in particular - was that mainstream white America finally woke up to the blues, and started taking notice of the originators of the music they were hearing played by white Europeans.
		Blues rock continues to be a popular style in Britain, one of it's later protagonists being the ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore.

	British blues
		British blues, the blues scene to which the Stones were first exposed and formed the band in, was a fairly recent and distinctive development.
		The blues which they performed at the Marquee and Ealing and other clubs in 1962 when the Stones formed, though it covered Chicago electric blues, nevertheless retained strong influences from the jazz and folk-blues genres.
		Korner's London blues scene was also the start of many, if not most, of Britain's great blues-influenced rock bands and musicians of the 1960s, including Eric Clapton, Long John Baldry, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, Manfred Mann, future members of Cream and the Small Faces, and even Ron Wood's older brother Arthur Wood.

	The History Of British R&B
		The deep roots of British pop music first became established in the soil of cultural history when Cyril Davies met Alexis Korner; two Englishmen that shared a passion for The Blues.
		Davies' vocals had a character that made the group competitive during the blues boom of 1962-63, and his harp playing was second to none in England; a powerful, alternately mournful or exultant sound.
		Meanwhile, the original Blues Incorporated had served as a catalyst for the formation of numerous bands and rock gods: The Animals, Fleetwood Mac, The Yardbirds, Cream, The Faces, Manfred Mann, The Pretty Things, etc. The rest is history.

		Interest in country blues developed throughout the 50's, the scene being dominated by Alexis Korner, Long John Baldry and Cyril Davies, who produced albums in 1957 and 1958 heavily featuring Leadbelly material, although they also did songs by artists such as the Memphis Jug Band and Sleepy John Estes.
		Folk and Blues Clubs became popular - and blues became part of the protest music of the young, mixed in with traditional folksingers old and new, Dylan-esque songsters and the new generation of British guitarists.
		Many of those who came to the blues in the 60's have professionally carried the torch ever since and still continue to tour - see Blue Front artists.

		Eventually the British blues boom led directly to heavy metal, for which not everyone who saved paper-round money to buy their first Muddy Waters album will necessarily be grateful.
		But its broader value is emphasised towards the end of Figgis's film by the stately BB King, who thanks the Mayalls and the Claptons for alerting the American public to the treasure hidden under their own doorstep, thereby bringing bluesmen such as himself a new and much larger audience.
		Red White And Blues enables those who were not there at the time to sense the do-it-yourself enthusiasm and infectious commitment behind a movement that taught the world a whole new language.

	Saiichi Sugiyama: Comment on Today's British Blues Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A lot of the things I would tend to use as yardsticks of the "british blues" were very faithful copies of things being done in america anyway (eg Bluesbreakers-era Clapton) - it took the advent of some drugs and other outside influences to turn it into something new and different (eg Cream/Zep etc.).
		Anyway on the topic of the current british blues scene, and in London especially, I think the only think holding it back is the fact that here, hardly anyone goes out to watch live bands any more - for a variety of reasons...
		It may be fun to "play" the blues, but in London, it damn well isn't "fun" for the average listener to "listen" to the blues.

		An early to mid-1960s musical movement based in London clubs, the British blues was an important influence on the subsequent rock explosion.
		As a self-contained form, British blues ended when Jimi Hendrix arrived from the United States to show local musicians the folly of their purist attitudes.
		Nevertheless, its legacy survived and flourished in the growing international heavy-metal movement, a style built largely on a simplification of the loud, distorted riffing of the British blues guitarists.

		I was listening to some BB King tracks from 1951-2, and you could hear that he had taken the hint from T Bone Walker in using the sustain possible with the electric guitar.
		In other words, BB did not pursue the sustaining and distorted possiblities of the electric - it was Clapton and Beck who did this - in England - in the mid-60s.
		NO ONE can deny that the BLUES ORIGINATED stateside,but there are REAL blues men in the UK as well, try listening to Rick Payne and Steve Elliot and you could possibly be forgiven thinking that they began in the US.
