Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No markings, dents, scratches, scuffs. Clean and firm pages. A journey through time and a testimony in images that shows the reality of the blues and bluesmen during the fifties. In the autumn of 1959, two Frenchmen with a passion for the blues, Jacques Demêtre and Marcel Chauvard, flew to the United States for the first time, commissioned by the magazine Jazz Hot. They met Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Champion Jack Dupree, Buddy Guy, J.B. Lenoir, Tampa Red, Elmore James and many others during their journey between New York, Detroit and Chicago. From Harlem to Chicago's South Side via Detroit's Black Bottom, they roam the places where the blues is played and lived: nightclubs, concert halls, modest apartments, churches, basements, recording studios and record labels, to bring back a testimony as well as photographs unprecedented for the time. Journey to the Land of the Blues retraces this odyssey as close as possible to the artists, in their intimacy and their daily lives, long before they became tutelary and unbeatable figures of the blues.
