Boogie
& the Blues Diva DVD featuring: Maria Mudaur, Butch Thompson, Alma Smith,
Jason D Williams...
Recorded at the historic
Redford Theatre, “Boogie & The Blues Diva” showcases sixty years in the
evolution of American music. First, Maria Muldaur and James
Dapogny’s Chicago Jazz Band recreate performances from the 20’s and 30’s
by blues divas Ethel Waters, Victoria Spivey, Ida Cox, and Sippie Wallace.
"Prairie Home Companion" regular Butch Thompson plays turn of the
century ragtime from Eubie Blake and Scott Joplin, and seminal boogie woogie
from Pinetop Smith in the 20’s. Alma Smith performs blues from the
40’s by Lionel Hampton and Dinah Washington. And finally, the amazing
Jason. D. Williams brings the house down as he straddles the transition
from Louis Jordan’s 40's boogie woogie to Jerry Lee Lewis’ 50's rock’n’roll.
