W C Handy 


                                                                                                                                    
A little bit info:

W C Handy on 1909 and his band moved to Memphis , Tennessee,where they started playing at clubs on Beale Street.The genesis of his "Memphis Blues" was a campaign tune written for Edward Crump,a successful Memphis mayoral candidate in 1909.Handy later rewrote the tune and changed its name from "Mr.Crump"  to "Memphis Blues ".


Most of this songs are with trumpet and in his songs is very classic because they are from 19s . I will show 3 of his songs :

1.Memphis blues  it has a nice rhythm with trumpet and it has rhythmed with banjo too

2.Ole miss rag here you can also hear trumpet but with a faster beat

3. ST LOUIS BLUES its very relaxing song with low beat and low sound
