	Champion Jack Dupree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Champion Jack Dupree was the embodiment of the New Orleans blues and boogie woogie pianist, a true barrelhouse "professor".
		Dupree's playing is almost all straight blues and boogie woogie, with no ballads or pop songs, not even blues ballads.
		Dupree's songs included not only gloomy topics, such as "TB Blues" and "Angola Blues" (about the infamous Louisiana prison farm), but also cheerful subjects like the "Dupree Shake Dance": "Come on, mama, on your hands and knees, do that shake dance as you please".

	Champion Jack Dupree CD Review
		Champion Jack was N'Orleans-born and raised but he spent over three decades living in Europe working the circuits as a singer and pianist.
		Dupree has put his elusive stylings into the fray; these are born of the blues, rag, barrelhouse, and downright bad times surrounding his lifetime (1910-1992).
		The rugged and sometimes tender blues of Champion Jack Dupree is highly influenced by his native home, his since-childhood friendship with Professor Longhair, his orphanage upbringing, and his circuitous career that to his ultimate end kept him playing the blues.

		Two more albums of new material were captured by the company the next year prior to the pianist's death in January of 1992.

	CD Review of King Curtis & Champion Jack Dupree - Blues At Montreux on Colectables @ jazzreview.com
		One night of the Swiss Montreux Jazz Festival in 1971 saw two legendary musical figures join forces: blues singer/piano ace Champion Jack Dupree (1909-1992) and soul/R&B saxophonist King Curtis (1934-1971) [the sax on those Coasters hits: him].
		With minimal preparation, these two got together with underrated guitarist Cornell Dupree (no relation) and jammed the 12-bar blues, both slow (“Poor Boy Blues”) and uptempo (“Get With It”).
		But that’s not to imply there are no surprises here: since this is a “live” context, you can experience the Champion’s side as a raconteur, and his piano on the closer “I’m Having Fun” edges into percussive/dissonant Cecil Taylor territory!
