- Join me on a transatlantic journey through musical and social history as I explore how the life of Champion Jack Dupree opens a window into the wider story of Jazz in Britain.
Thanks for producing this - great to see some clips of Champion Jack in and around Halifax with his family. A wonderful musician, a real legend!
Thanks for bringing the story of Champion Jack Dupree's time in Yorkshire to a wider public! So many fascinating links and intersections.
Seeing the production values change and mature over time is really an enjoyable part of the experience as a viewer.
A very well directed and produced video, as well as suggestive and interesting. You were a strong presence as the host, Catherine.
This channel is definitely on a trajectory to breakout in the future. Keep up the work and growth!
Not a blues fan but around the time of his death, I was at a gig at the 100 Club in London, don’t remember the group, it wasn’t blues but the club walls, like many, had signed pictures of stars who have played there. Dupree included, I was always intrigued by his name.
I had no idea he spent so much time in Yorkshire, less that like others settling in Europe.
A fascinating video.
Super video Kathrine,never know this keep up the good work 👍👍
Jack also lived with the mother of a friend of mine in Sweden. She had a very large collection of blues records.
Interseting as ever. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Well done, what an excellently crafted video unfurling another historical gem by sharing the interesting life of Jack Dupree. Learning about Civil Rights & African-American culture in History was one of my favourite topics so I knew I was in for a nice treat when I saw this video pop up!
This has been fantastic. I really learnt something wholly new and unexpected.
Great video thanks.
Smashing video, well planned and produced. Thank you!
Great video. Please do one on Allan Holdsworth - he went the other way, from Bradford to the USA. An incredibly original composer, and probably the most accomplished electric guitar player who ever lived.
A very interesting and enjoyable video as always. :)
i remember seeing him in the pubs in Halifax in the 60s when i was going to the Plebs or Paylings (!)club i even sang along with him a couple of times a very interesting man
I'd like to add that the local brass band tradition you mentioned probably helped spread Jazz music in Britain as well. My father has researched local Jazz history just like you, and in Sweden, competent brass bands would often pick up Jazz music once it arrived on the scene and help popularise it
American black bluesmen found a kindred spirit in the white working class British bluesmen, being surprised that there so many similarities in their backgrounds.
@UA-camname804 there's so much history and so little time.
@UA-camname804 at the expense of which other bit of history?
@UA-camname804 yes, everything a child needs for life in the modern world. Music history whilst interesting just isn't that important.
@UA-camname804 calculating percentages is primary level maths but not everyone comprehends it until secondary. There's plenty of other maths that is relevant to the real world as well. The same is true for many other subjects.
@UA-camname804 no, just pointing out that there is plenty in education that you are ignoring, such as how to do percentages which is a good chunk of calculating taxes. Your comment about the irrelevancy of learning about LGBT can be mirrored by those who think learning about black musical history is irrelevant. A bit more paying attention in school and you would understand the irony of your statements.
