Jimmy Yancey

State Street Special
Jimmy Yancey Vol. 1, 1939-1940 1991 via Document
a note about this track

Blues Spotlight: Jimmy Yancey Did Not Make A Record Until He Was Over 40 Years Old, But His Elegant Playing On The Club And Rent-Party Circuit In Chicago Was Legendary. These Recordings Created A Considerable Stir In The Blues Community. One Of The Pioneers Of The Raucous, Rapid-Fire, Eight-To-The-Bar Piano Style, Yancey Was Very Influential On The Younger Chicago Players Who Started The Boogie-Woogie Craze Of The Late 1930s. He Began As A Tap-Dancer And Singer As Part Of His Father And Brothers Act On The Vaudeville Circuit, Touring The States And Europe Before WWl. Returning To Chicago In 1915, Yancey Then Taught Himself to Play Piano - Remembered Today As A True Innovator Of Blues Piano. James Edward Yancey Passed On In 1951; Posthumously Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Thirty-Five Years Later
