Join Kelvin Huggins as he explores October 22nd through the lens of blues history.

Four defining moments tell the story:

• 1931 – Jack Teagarden bridges blues and jazz with his landmark recording of “Beale Street Blues.”
• 1969 – Led Zeppelin reimagines Chicago blues as electrified, heavy rock with Led Zeppelin II.
• 975 – Linda Hopkins brings Bessie Smith’s spirit to Broadway in Me and Bessie, proving the blues can command the stage.
• 1990 – The passing of Arthur “Big Boy” Spires reminds us that the blues was built not just by legends, but by the journeymen who lived it night after night.
