with a special extended edition of the rhythm and blues show, featuring Magic Slim and the Teardrops from Chicago and the Jools Holland Big Band from London. Like
Muddy Waters, Big
Bill Broonzy , Howlin' Wolf and hundreds of other
Mississippi bluesmen,
Magic Slim followed a well-trodden path to Chicago to play music in the city's
Southside clubs. His music personifies raw, no-frills authentic Chicago blues. Jools Holland , former member of Squeeze and accomplished blues and boogie pianist, plays tonight with his recently formed big band. And, to mark this special programme, the whole show is being turned into a listeners' competition. Producer Dave Shannon
