Mashup in New York

"Of course, there are a lot of ways you can treat the blues, but it will still be the blues"

Count Basie

Salto a Nova Iorque dos anos 40 e 50, muito feita à volta da indústria discográfica, tornando a Big Apple numa miscelânea de registos migrados de terras tão distintas como New Orleans, Mississippi, Chicago ou Texas. Contudo, a força do swing dos anos 30 e do bebop dos 40, leva a um registo mais jazzístico do blues dos artistas provenientes de Nova Iorque.
