Roots of Jazz: The Blues
Guests: Robert Cray & Keb' Mo'. In the beginning, jazz and blues started out on the same track before diverging into two separate genres, and in the early 20th century, the two forms borrowed liberally from each other as they took their first formative steps. In this episode, GRAMMY winners Robert Cray and Keb' Mo', talk about what jazz has taken from the blues, and how the two uniquely American forms of music have intertwined over the years. Robert Cray and Keb' Mo' in their own highly distinctive styles remind us that the blues can be entertaining as well as innovative.
