King Avenue Blues (@ksboldtownalex)

King Street BluesLet’s begin on the finish. On February 15, 1981, Mike Bloomfield was found useless in a automobile on a aspect street in San Francisco. He was 37. Someone, perhaps a vendor, had dumped him there, not wanting to get involved. His body went unclaimed on the morgue for a time. This was certainly a tragic finale for one of many greatest blues guitarists of all time.

This was when we would ‘repeat After’the music others introduced us to. Monk Higgins was on the top of the pile in these days, and we really dug him and studied the album’s liner notes with the intention to get to know extra concerning the artist. Down Beat journal, although the problems would be months late, have been a part of the stuff we included into listening to different artists and growing our jazz listening appreciation ‘get-togethers’.

Hate to break it to all you …
