Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. The Memphis blues style is mostly influenced by jug bands, such as the Memphis Jug Band or the Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers. Blues is a vocal and instrumental music form often based on the twelve-bar chord progression. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blues   (5159 words)

Encyclopedia: St. James Infirmary Blues It would seem that the location is more likely the St. James Infirmary in New Orleans; Louis Armstrong was from there, and that city is home to important jazz and blues traditions. It is likewise hard to determine where the infirmary of the title was, although there is in fact a St. James Infirmary in San Francisco, California, and there used to be one in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the end of the lyric, we learn that the narrator is staying in the St. James hotel. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/St.-James-Infirmary-Blues   (1149 words)

Gambit Weekly : Name That Tune : June 14, 2005 This is even true of "Gambler's Blues." In the most prevalent version, the narrator is in a bar and hears the tale of woe from Big Joe McKennedy (or something similar), who is just back from having visited his lover's corpse at the St. James Infirmary.

"ST. JAMES INFIRMARY," IT TURNS OUT, is an offshoot of an extraordinary song cycle that is the subject of a 1960 Folkways Records release called The Unfortunate Rake: A Study in the Evolution of a Ballad, containing 20 songs and extensive notes by Kenneth S. Goldstein. www.bestofneworleans.com /dispatch/2005-06-14/cover_story.php   (3509 words)
