Memphis Slim~Original UK LP Legacy of the blues NM 1973 Piano Blues Chicago Blue Memphis Slim Legacy of the blues: Volume 7

Original UK LP released in 1973 on Sonet Records. Cat:SNTF647.

An amazingly prolific artist who brought a brisk air of urban sophistication to his frequently stunning presentation, John "Peter" Chatman better known as Memphis Slim  assuredly ranks with the greatest blues pianists of all time. He was smart enough to take Big Bill Broonzy's early advice about developing a style to call his own to heart, instead of imitating that of his idol, Roosevelt Sykes. Soon enough, other 88s pounders were copying Slim rather than the other way around; his thundering ivories attack set him apart from most of his contemporaries, while his deeply burnished voice possessed a commanding authority. These recordings were made in the sixties with the band featuring Billy Butler - Guitar, Eddie Chamblee - tenor sax, Lloyd Trotman - Bass & Herb Laveile - Drums.
