Životopis interpreta
A relatively sophisticated musician, Little Brother Montgomery played (and sang) a style of piano blues from the '20s on that approached jazz in its finesse and harmonic complexity. His 1935 Bluebird recordings, "Shreveport Blues" and "Farish Street Jive," are considered daunting displays of the genre, blending boogie woogie and stride with dazzling technical skill. Montgomery continued to work through the decades, appearing on debut albums by both Otis Rush and Magic Sam and, to prove his versatility even further, promoted the early career of Elaine McFarlane (aka Spanky of Spanky & Our Gang). Little Brother Montgomery died in 1985.
