Six Blues-Roots Pianists

Rating:
Summary: Blues Piano
Review: The six pianists are Jimmy Yancey, Champion Jack Dupree, Little Brother Montgomery, Speckled Red, Roosevelt Sykes and Otis Spann.

Excellent book for the advanced blues pianist. All transcriptions are accurate although most of them not complete. Contains biographies of the artists and rare photographs (James Cotton and Muddy Waters included). Also contains a discography.
It's a shame that this book is out of print.
