"Celebrating the Blues Today" Locale: New Orleans Late in the 20th century, a plethora of young blues artists led by Jonny Lang, Corey Harris, Keb' Mo', The North Mississippi Allstars, and Susan Tedeschi, brought fresh sounds and stylings to the music. At the same time, stalwarts like Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, R.L. Burnside, and B.B. King only heightened their acclaim. This program celebrates the long-standing relationship the blues has had with the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Muddy Waters' son, Big Bill Morganfield, demonstrates how modern blues builds on what came before.
