 The
New York Times Sunday Arts Section did a full page story on Bob Koester
of Delmark Records and Jazz Record Mart on June 26th. "Happily
Seduced by the Blues" includes photographs and full song streams
of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, Eddie C. Campbell, Muhal
Richard Abrams, Big Joe Williams, Roscoe Mitchell, and Sleepy John
Estes.
There are quotes from Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite, George Lewis,
and Bruce Iglauer and we find out how Koester gave Iggy and the Stooges
their name. Not to suggest that the owner of the oldest independent
Blues label is in any way a closet Rock fan.
