24 blues The blues might well have been the starting point of it all, way back before any kind of band jazz. A guy improvising a couple of lines to tell everyone about some such basic misfortune as "My gal done left me," and accompanying himself, if at all, on some crude stringed instrument. The blues has almost always had a rigid pattern, almost a ritual: twelve bars; make a statement, tell it again, then carry it a step forward with a hope or a moan or a curse : The 2:ig took my baby away, 2:ig took my baby away; ?'■ 2:iy'll bring her back some day. Above: Some of the outstanding male "race" blues shouters. Left to right: Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Boy Fuller, Sonny Terry. Blindness may have just been a coincidental woe, but a startling number of blues men have been sightless. Below: The equally rough and ready Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly), singer of race and folk blues in an intensely moving voice. Ma Kainey (above) and Bessieneed anything more be said? mm
