Charles Denman still sings Blues, Bebop and Jazz

  The Blues emerged in the late 1890s following slavery. Prior to that time the main ingredient of black music was field hollers which served as a means of communication and as work songs to keep time with a task and soothe the troubled minds of plantation slaves.
The call and response of expression from the hollers style remained a part of blues music, but a new style was incorporated, whereby the blues singer responded to himself or herself.  Blues music reflected the new status that Black people gained with their freedom.  The first recording of the blues was 1895,  George W.
