Blues on Stage
2023
Overview
Blues on Stage presents a new history of the development
of the \"Classic Blues\" of the 1920s, offering a comprehensive
review of various Black singers who recorded and were influential
in this era, including Bessie Smith, Trixie Smith, Butterbeans and
Susie, and Ma Rainey. The business of music recording and
publishing, including songwriting and touring theater circuits, is
explored as part of the narrative of how and when these artists
became nationally popular. The most highly regarded singers of this
period were not folk or rural artists, but rather highly
experienced stage professionals whose careers often extended two
decades or more prior to their first recordings. These artists,
some of the most famous acts on the Black vaudeville and tent show
circuits, were preceded in the recording studio by many cabaret and
nightclub singers with a different entertainment perspective and
were followed by artists who came from a more rural, less
professional background. For anyone interested in the roots of jazz
and blues, Blues on Stage offers a new and comprehensive
introduction to the development of this American musical style.
