A The Ultimate Jazz Archive egy öszzesen 168 (!) lemezből álló – tehát igazán átfogónak tekinthető – válogatás, melynek tizenegyedik része a blues zene meghatározó előadóinak világába kalauzol. A mai menü: T-Bone Walker, Josh White, Blind Willie McTell, Big Bill Broonzy
Set 11 – CD 1: T-Bone Walker
Az északi és a déli bluesnak is kiemelkedő alakja, egyik megújítója volt Aaron Thibeaux Walker (1910-1975), akiről a pályatársak és szakírók úgy vélekednek, hogy ha mást nem is csinált volna, csak megírja a Stormy Monday Blues-t, már akkor is eleget tett volna a műfajért. Természetesen nemcsak ezért az egy számért került a blues és a rock halhatatlanjai közé. A Rolling Stone magazin kétszer is minden idők legjobb száz gitárosa közé választotta.

Set 11 – CD 2: Josh White
Joshua Daniel White (1914-1969), known as Josh White , was an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actor, and civil rights activist. He also recorded under the names “Pinewood Tom” and “Tippy Barton” in the 1930s. White grew up in the South during the 1920s and 1930s, he became a prominent race records artist, with a prolific output of recordings in genres including Piedmont blues , country blues , gospel , and social protest songs. In 1931, White moved to New York, and within a decade his fame had spread widely; his repertoire expanded to include urban blues , jazz , traditional folk songs , and political protest songs. He soon was in demand as an actor on radio, Broadway , and film. White also became the closest African-American friend and confidant to president Franklin D. Roosevelt . However, White’s anti- segregationist and international human rights political stance presented in many of his recordings and in his speeches at rallies resulted in the McCarthyites utilizing the pretext of labelling him Communist to slander and harass him. Accordingly, from 1947 through the mid-1960s, White became caught up in the anti-Communist Red Scare , and combined with the resulting attempt to clear his name, his career was damaged. .

Set 11 – CD 3: Blind Willie McTell
Blind Willie McTell (born William Samuel McTier; 1898-1959) was a Piedmont and ragtime blues singer and guitarist. He played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, common among many exponents of Piedmont blues, although, unlike his contemporaries, he came to use twelve-string guitars exclusively. McTell was also an adept slide guitarist, unusual among ragtime bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from many of the harsher voice types employed by Delta bluesmen, such as Charley Patton. McTell embodied a variety of musical styles, including blues, ragtime, religious music and hokum.

Set 11 – CD 4: Big Bill Broonzy
Big Bill Broonzy (1893-1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences. Through the 1930s and 1940s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class African-American audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century. Broonzy copyrighted more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including both adaptations of traditional folk songs and original blues songs. As a blues composer, he was unique in that his compositions reflected the many vantage points of his rural-to-urban experiences.
