| Corky Siegel To Appear On National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer Corky Siegel will visit with National Public Radio's Scott Simon on “Weekend Edition” on Saturday, December 17. Siegel will talk about his two 2005 Alligator Records releases: “Corky Siegel's Traveling Chamber Blues Show” and the Siegel Schwall Band's “Flash Forward”, which was included in the “Chicago Tribune's” Top Ten Blues Albums of 2005 and was nominated for a 2006 Blues Music Award, as well as his inclusion in the recent Chicago Blues Reunion CD/DVD. He will also perform a song solo with harmonica. Corky Siegel has been bringing his critically acclaimed, blues-influenced music to worldwide audiences for four decades. His early years in Chicago's toughest South Side blues clubs with the Siegel-Schwall Blues Band, his solo performances, his groundbreaking blues-classical collaborations with conductor Seiji Ozawa and composer William Russo and his introduction of Chamber Blues (an irresistible combination of classical and blues music), are all a reflection of Siegel's wide-ranging talent. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
