Archie Speaks ~ Bill King Trio The Night & the Music by Bill King What are you doing the rest of your L...
The Bill King Trio is, Biil King - Steinway Accoustic Grand Piano, Roberto Occhipinti - Acoustic Bass, Terry Clarke - Drums.
When it comes to standards written before 1920, none has enjoyed more recordings by jazz artists than W.C. Handy’s classic, “St. Louis Blues.” Considered the most famous blues composition, the song was the most-recorded of all time from the 1930’s until “Star Dust” took the title over twenty years later.
Handy, in his 1941 autobiography Father of the Blues: An Autobiography, says, “When ‘St. Louis Blues’ was written the tango was in vogue. I tricked the dancers by arranging a tango introduction, breaking abruptly into a low-down blues. My eyes swept the floor anxiously, then suddenly I saw the lightning strike. The dancers seemed electrified.”
Handy was determined to create a hit that would compensate for his loss on the popular “Memphis Blues” (1912). Unscrupulous publishers had tricked him into selling his copyright for fifty dollars, which barely covered his expenses. After a near miss with the instrumental “Jogo Blues,” (with its difficult arrangement) Handy found solitude in a rented a room in the Beale Street district and began to write “St. Louis Blues.”
Pianist-composer-publisher Bill King is a multi-talented individual whose recording and production credits include hundreds of releases spanning a 5-decade career. 3-time Juno Nominee (Canada's Grammy's)
Artists Bill King has worked with includes: Janis Joplin (Music Director and Keyboards), written for Chaka Khan, Linda Rondstadt, Martha Reeves, Pointer Sisters, Oscar Peterson, Sophie Milman, Pat Lababera and hundreds more. https://billkingpiano.bandcamp.com/
Recorded live in Toronto at the 'Jazz Bistro' on August 17, 2023.
