It doesn't matter, pal. Your posts are very interesting, Neil. Modern art is very specific in its designations.

#jazzsky | La voraz y criminal especulación urbanística fuerza al cierre del Café Central en Madrid. Un local emblemático para los amantes del jazz y un referente cultural en la capital de España. Vergonzoso e indignante a partes iguales.

#Blues | Joe Turner is one of those great singers who are comfortable in both blues and jazz | Big Joe, born in Kansas City in 1911, was one of the first artists to mix rhythm & blues with boogie-woogie, giving rise to the blues jump, a style that was a precursor to rock 'n' roll.

#Blues | Guitarist Lowell Fulson recorded steadily from 1946 onwards, and performed regularly on the US and European club circuits into the 90s | One of the founding fathers of West Coast blues, Fulson blended the rural blues of his home state Oklahoma, with the modern sounds of urban California
