Description
The piano is not necessarily one of the main instruments that come to mind when
the Blues is mentioned, nonetheless it has been with the genre pretty much since
its inception. The guitar has always dominated the sound of rural Blues music,
whereas the piano became more prevalent in cities with close proximity to jazz
scenes, such as New Orleans or St. Louis. This episode will cover notable blues
pianists from all over the US throughout the 20th and 21st century so far.
