Cloture Blues

Free Blues/Free Jazz/Free Improvisation from Chicago, centered on the single string Diddley Bow.

Streams of Influence:

Blues:
John Lee Hooker, Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough - non-progression based musical language, the drone
Lonnie Pitchford, Moses Williams, Eddie "One-String" Jones, One String Willie - core musical technique of the diddley bow

Jazz:
Freddie Keppard, Bessie Smith, Ornette Coleman - Melody-first, blues-rooted, declaratory sensibility
Albert and Donald Ayler - non-pitch-centered musical expression and its relationship to thematic material
Sonny Sharrock - Expressive rhythmic technique in stringed instruments

Rock:
Jimi Hendrix, Munehiro Narita, Ax Genrich - synthesis of free music into blues-based musical structures
Sore Throat - UNHINDERED BY TALENT

Free improvisation:
Derek Bailey: Musical effects of disjunct rhythm, absence of pre-set form
AMM: Decentering the "instrument" in favor of the "sound source."
