Dakle o cemu je ovde rec? Evo, neka Dr. kaze:
"Blues, Jazz, Country, sve je to isto samo drugacije upakovano."
Svi koji volite Muppet Show se sigurno secate lutke Dr. Teeth. Kreator Mappeta, Jim Henson je bio veliki fan Dr. Johna i njegove muzike. Bas u njemu je nasao inspiraciju za kreaciju ovog simpaticnog lika.
Da skratim pricu. Ono sto Dr. John radi je kompilacija svega onoga sto se ikada svirano u gradu po imenu New Orleans, State of Louisiana. A sviralo se dosta.
Pokusacu delimicno da prikazem muzicke pravce koji su uticali na ono sto svi bolje znaju kao Jazz and Blues. Na kraju slusamo Dr. Johna i njegovu interpretaciju svega ovoga =]
Zelim da zajedno proputujemo kroz veoma kratke ali neverovatne audio-vizualne segmente ove price.

The roots: Ragtime, Zydeco, Cajun, Delta Blues made in New Orleans
(Ragtime)
Ragtime (alternately spelled Rag-time) is an American musical genre which enjoyed its peak popularity between 1899 and 1918. It has had several periods of revival since then and is still being composed today. Ragtime was the first truly American musical genre, predating jazz. It began as dance music in popular music settings years before being published as popular sheet music for piano.
(Zydeco)
American roots or folk music, that evolved from the jure during the late 1800s call and response vocal music of the black and multiracial French speaking Creoles of south and southwest Louisiana.
(Cajun)
Cajun music, an emblematic music of Louisiana, is rooted in the ballads of the French-speaking Acadians of Canada. Cajun music is often mentioned in tandem with the Creole-based, Cajun-influenced zydeco form, both of Acadiana origin.
The Delta blues is one of the earliest styles of blues music. It originated in the Mississippi Delta, a region of the United States.The Mississippi Delta area is famous both for its fertile soil and its extreme poverty. Guitar and harmonica are the dominant instruments used. The vocal styles range from introspective and soulful to passionate and fiery.Delta blues music was first recorded in the late 1920s.
Pogledajte insert iz filma "Legend of 1900" I koliko u muzici koju svira "suparnik Tim Totha" ljuti americki dzezer, ustvari odzvanja argentinski tango. Kada se jos doda koliko procenata populacije je govorilo I jos govori mesavinu francuskog, engleskog i jos nekih jezika (Creole) salata postaje potpuna. "Mislim da sedis na mojoj stolici, excuse moi, s'il te plait" =]
I na kraju Spiridonov izbor
Dr John - Right place wrong time
kako se uz ovo lome noge =].
Thank you Dr.
