ETTA JAMES/ALBERT COLLINS/JOE WALSH: Jump the Blues Away

Nothing if not eclectic, the Jazzvisions series veers completely away from jazz on its blues installment. The idiom is blues-rock, the headliner is the once and future Eagles star Joe Walsh, and his co-partners are electric bluesman Albert Collins and the indestructible singer Etta James. Within that idiom, though, this is a strong program captained by experts in the arts of blues licks and working the crowd. Collins is terse and stinging on guitar, full of bent-note soul; James is right in her element, laying on the double entendres, whipping up the audience in her experienced manner; and Walsh, aside from the inevitable "Rocky Mountain Way," does well in the blues guitar idiom, even giving a tip of the cap to Collins, "Thanks for all the licks!" The backup band roars in the traditional journeyman electric blues-rock form, with strong piano and organ work and pumping drums. At its best, especially when Collins and James are on, this concert at the indoor Wiltern Theatre has much of the celebratory flavor of a jumping outdoor blues festival. Available on LP, CD, cassette, laserdisc and VHS video.

Arizona Blues Artist Danny Rhodes Passes:

Source: BluesWax

Though not a household name in the Blues, Arizona Blues singer/guitarist Danny Rhodes was loved by those who new him. He passed away on May 23 after a long bout with gastric cancer. He was 58 years old.

Rhodes was based in Cottonwood, Arizona, and in addition to fronting his own popular band, he generously provided guest slots to many of Arizona's Blues veterans at some of his standing casino gigs (Chico Chism, Big Pete Pearson, Tommy Dukes, Small Paul, and Sam Taylor to name a few).

Born in Cairo, Illinois, and Blues bred in Louisiana, Rhodes settled in Arizona in the 1980s. He wrote songs that were covered by Etta James and was inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall Of Fame in 2006.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, May 31, at the Riverfront Park softball field in Cottonwood, Arizona, at 10 a.m.  read more »

PERFORMANCE/TOUR: Beyonc: Lady Sings the Blues

Portraying troubled blues icon Etta James in the film Cadillac Records was a real eye-opener for the singer, but it's Streisand she'd really like to emulate.

Reporting from New York -- On a recent slate-gray afternoon in New York, Beyonc zipped quickly through the front door of trendy Rivington Hotel on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The singer, her hair pulled back tightly, was wearing an immaculate black suit and perfectly knotted necktie that gave her a playful "Victor\Victoria" look, one suggesting to the gawking bystanders that the Rivington's latest guest just might be the world's most Superfly stockbroker...
