Rockin’ and Reelin’: Blues to Western Swing

SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE

800 Chestnut Street

San Francisco, CA, 94133

In his second evening of music clips Mark Cantor offers a departure from past jazz programs as we present a program that focuses on blues, R&B, rockabilly and Western Swing. Much of the film in this program has never been shown in the Bay Area and we guarantee a foot-stomping evening of rare music. Among the many artists to be featured are Bob Wills, Spade Cooley, Merle Travis, Big Bill Broonzy, Carl Perkins, Big Joe Turner, the Collins Kids, Roy Milton, the Clovers, Sister Rosetta Tharp and, maybe, the Sons of the Pioneers.
