I'm doing research for an article.
Can you think of any noteworthy Jewish blues talent,
besides Mark Nofler?

Then we must include the only non musician Blues Hall of Fame member and
Zeller.
Mr. Dick Waterman. (Isn't 'Zeller" a Jewish name)

We have another fine one on the list: Ann Rabson is Jewish,
isn't she? I saw something about that in some jacket notes
for a Saffire cd.
And I realized I have a friend who's a Jewish blues musician.
He's local but he used to live in Austin, I think. His name
is "Mojo" Mark Schwartz. He and his wife Tina sometimes
do a duo, but mostly he is part of a group with Pat Dutton
on harp and Bill Bussman on bass. They work around
the area quite a bit, although he's an electrical engineer
by day.

when I first moved to Los Angeles, I did a bunch of gigs with Lowell Fulson
and Percy Mayfield. Kenny "Blue" Ray was on the gigs, and so was Finis
Tasby. The first night we met Lowell on the gig for the first time. We
opened with an instrumental and then Lowell came out. He whispered in my
ear, "You must be a Jew boy, only Jew boys play like that, except maybe an
Eye-talian." I thought that was a crackup.
BTW, did anyone mention Al Kooper, nee Kooperman?

We've got this guy in Texas, Kinky Friedman, who is more of a musical
humorist than a blues musician. Some of his more notorious titles include
"They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore", "Ride 'Em Jewboy" and "Asshole
From El Paso". A lot of people think he's great but I never understood him.
He also writes detective vovels which sell very well indeed.

a half breed. Two of them had the same last name. One played the piano and
the other the guitar. They refused to take the (stage) nicknames "White
Keys" and "Jewboy" or be called brothers. They even had the temerity to get
mad at me when I suggested it. <g>

Really, 'Stew? I know he's talented (even if some-not me- have said he's
note-happy), but "greatest Blues Jew" EVER? He's got real some heavy
competition on this list, you know.
Maybe Katz is among the best on keyboards, but then maybe David Maxwell
might qualify to give him a run for the title, too.

right to change my mind at any time. Like a fisherman...I've been known to
exagerate a bit. And...like a politician, Ive got an answer for everything.

PS, still, Bruce Katz is a bad muthu...
PPS, Fred Kaplan is another real good blues piano playin' Jew (he was in the
orig Hollywood Fats band) but he doesn't compare to Katz imo.

I've watched the film several times. Its called " The Ballad of Ramblin'
Jack Elliot". I will pass on to you his surname to you, once I remember
it. I'm having a "senior moment" at the present time ( LOL ). It was
nominated " Best documentary " @ The Sundance Film Festival ( '97 or '98 ).
If you do not know much about "Ramblin' Jack", you will be quite
enlightened by this film. Ihave watched it several times in a week. So,
he qualifies as a true " Jewish Blues Great ". I think you will understand
more so when you check out his life history. There is some true substance
to his character and personality. He does not need a website to prove who
he is. And he does not need to stake claim to "being there" when the music
was hot - he was there. Check it out ! There are a few issues of
relevancy that "Ramblin' Jack" dlscloses about another "Jewish Blues
Great". I give the documentary an " All Thumbs Up !!!!" recommendation.
Because I'm all thumbs ( LOL )

Kenworth plant where my brother-in-law worked, and Jack still talks about.
He parked the motor home at my place 10 years ago when he was in town, but
never commented on my gefilte fish or matzoh ball soup. :)
"Young Brigham," indeed! Maybe Jack just liked the idea of polygamy. LOL!

P.S. "The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack" won Special Jury Prize for Artistic

I'd love to hear that song. I dated a West Virginia Jewish lady for a few
years, though she preferred to be called a Mountain Jew, LOL.
Also, Jews have always associated themselves with less than popular art forms
that at the time were considered dirty businesses - we saw opportunity. Back
when Jazz was music played only in whorehouses and at the beginnings of the
film industry (it wasn't legitimate theayter) Jews were involved as
performers, managers, etc. And if you want to hear some real blues listen to
some of the music that came out of the ghettos of Eastern Europe in the
middle ages back when we were getting beat up daily in pogroms and whatnot.

name such as Rebbenack; it is possible. I think Moses sang the blues @ the

Doc Pomus' real name was Jerome Felder. He was the brother of the famous
divorce lawyer Raoul Felder. He invented the name "Doc Pomus" simply because
he liked the way that it sounded.
