  West End Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West End Blues is a multi-strain 12 bar blues composition by Joe "King" Oliver.
West End then a good distance away from the city; it was connected to New Orleans by a streetcar line and a shell road.
By far the most famous recording of "West End Blues" is the 3-minute-plus, 78 RPM record recording made by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five in 1928, considered one of the masterpieces of early jazz.

 Charlie Parker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His themeless blues improvisation "Parker's Mood" represents one of the most deeply affecting recordings in jazz, as fundamental as Armstrong's classic "West End Blues", from only twenty years before.
It begins with a classically-tinged introduction, and then turns into a slow blues that gradually accumulates layers of overdubbing — one of the earliest experiments in jazz with multiple overdubbing.
The piece also featured Jaco Pastorius playing Electric Fretless Bass (Pastorius had made a name for himself when he included on his debut solo album an astounding rendition of the Charlie Parker and Miles Davis standard 'Donna Lee', no doubt a tribute to the late genius himself).

"Blue Suede Shoes" brought him instant success, but also developed a mutating life of its own as the first million-selling, triple-play crossover that moved from the top of the country charts to those of rhythm & blues, and then pop.
The composition incorporates all kinds of musical and cultural elements that were part of that scene, from ragtime and blues to classical and parlor songs, and to African and Caribbean music.
By the end of the 1930s, the tune was a certifiable American classic.

The West End Blues Band has cooked up a good one with the release of their new CD "Just Because I'm Out Of Money" featuring 18 original songs, all penned by the band.
The band draws it's sound from a foundation of classic electric blues, but has built it into something all their own based on their roots in Blues, R&B and Jazz.
West End founder and guitarist Jim Atkinson cranks out a full range of great guitar tones, combining gritty rhythm chops and snarling lead fills on tunes such as the Texas flavored "Just Say You Will", "Shining Star", or the rousing up tempo instrumental "Albert" (a tribute to early influence Albert Collins).

 The Independent: Music: Features: West End Blues
His cadenza at the start of "West End Blues" sounds once more like a clarion call to the world, announcing the creation of a new music.
In the first, just a few years after the Hot Fives and Sevens dates, Armstrong was on his way to becoming an established popular artist and performing plenty of novelties (some delightful, such as his original "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train"), Tin Pan Alley dross and big-band versions of traditional New Orleans fare.
He was still taking heart-stopping solos, though, as on the 1933 version of "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues" or the after-hours oddity "Laughin' Louie," where he plays a cappella to entertain the band.

"Muskrat Ramble" and "Potato Head Blues" are declarative, ringing numbers with striking Armstrong solos, as well as "Alligator Crawl," "Wild Man Blues," and "St. James Infirmary." This is an essential compilation, but it should only entice listeners to purchase the entire set as there are several other worthy numbers that didn't make the cut.
"West End Blues" appears among the 16 featured songs on Satch Blows The Blues, another Legacy compilation covering various albums.
The best cuts are those from the 20s and 30s, when every Armstrong trumpet solo and vocal lead was memorable.

Gunther Schuller's Comment on Louis' introduction to West End Blues from EARLY JAZZ: ITS ROOTS AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, (Oxford University Press, 1986).
As has already been intimated, these two phrases alone almost summarize Louis's entire style and his contribution to jazz language.
The way Louis attacks each note, the quality and exact duration of each pitch, the manner in which he releases the note, and the subsequent split second silence before the next note - in other words, the entire acoustical pattern - present in capsule form all the essential characteristics of jazz inflection."

 Amazon.com: The Hot Fives & Sevens: Music: Louis Armstrong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The music's first great soloist, Armstrong was reshaping jazz by sheer improvisational magic, gradually diminishing the role of the traditional New Orleans ensemble with the clarion brilliance of his trumpet.
Possessing an uncanny blend of exuberance and creativity, he combined virtuosic declarations with a talent for the subtlest shifts in phrasing and melodic variation, creating rich emotional statements that could hint at loss in the midst of joy or the promise of better things in the most sorrowful blues.
The band expands here, to the Hot Seven and larger ensembles, and it gains soloists who applied Armstrong's lessons to their own instruments--musicians such as pianist Earl Hines and trombonist Jack Teagarden--but all come under the imprint of Armstrong's flowering genius, as both trumpeter and singer.

In his Theatre.com Review, Matt Wolf said that Adams and Modine constituted a "bizarre double-act," adding: "The always intriguing Adams leaves no tic unexplored in an effort to buoy up a staging that at one point has her disrobing in a contorted fashion that has to be seen to be believed."
