Professor Longhair

Recommended Posts

I just found out about him. His songs are amazing and unique. I like his licks and riffs especially those really syncopated ones and also those where he (intentionally?) plays notes that clash with the chords.

 

I bought 3 albums with the same songs but he plays them differently everytime. Different flavour everytime.

 

I didn't know 12 bar blues could sound like this!

Professor Longhair had a top 40 hit in the late 50's/early 60's, right about the same B. Bumble and the Stingers had their hit with "Asia Minor", if I recall correctly, but I can't remember what it was. I used to hear it on the radio in Detroit. Loved his playing.

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
