The Power of Black Music : Interpreting its History from Africa to the United States
ISBN: 9780195082357 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Jimi Hendrix transfixed the crowds of Woodstock with his gripping version of -The Star Spangled Banner, - he was building on a foundation reaching back, in part, to the revolutionary guitar playing of Howlin' Wolf and the other great Chicago bluesmen, and to the Delta blues tradition before him.
