Saturday, September 13, Timothy Bond made his directing debut at Syracuse Stage with August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, running September 9-October 4, 2008 at Syracuse Stage. "Powerful, deeply satisfying...Ebony Jo-Ann is a radiant, driving presence...Warner Miller is superb." - The Post-Standard "Ebony Jo-Ann delivers a bravura performance...a blues singer that honors the original Ma Rainey." - Syracuse New Times "A searing production...Bond is an excellent interpreter of Wilson." - Oneida Daily Dispatch Ma Raineys Black Bottom is the landmark, contemporary classic that marked August Wilsons entry into his monumental ten-play chronicle of African-American life in the 20th century. The play was inspired by the true story of Gertrude Ma Rainey, known as the Mother of the Blues, and the story centers on a young horn player who longs to place his name among the giants of the blues. Ma has pushed the boundaries, struggling with shady producers and battling prejudice to become a successful recording artist. In a single day of making music, making jokes and making deals, the young horn player succumbs to the harsh realities of unjustly thwarted aspirations and the self-destructive consequences of misdirected anger and violence.. + Informações

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom By August Wilson Directed by Irene Lewis Apr 7-May 9, 2010 The only one of Wilsons monumental cycle to shift scene from Pittsburgh?landing us instead in Chicago, where we find legendary monarch of the Blues, Ma Rainey, and her marvelous assemblage of less-than-merry musicians. As we wait to discover Will She or Wont She, we learn gradually of the pitfalls and perils that lie in wait for each of these proud, ambitious artists outside the recording studio walls, and inside their sometimes tormented hearts. After all, its 1927; and with the Jazz Age in full swing its a moment as full of possibility as risk for those striving to achieve the American side of being African American. Featuring CENTERSTAGE Associate Artist E. Faye Butler in the title role of this modern classic.. + Informações

Run Away Blues Ma Rainey ( Gertrude Rainey ) Acc: Georgia Tom Dorsey, piano Tampa Red, guitar Recordingdate : Sept 1928, Pm 12902, Paramount Records Note : Ma Rainey is considered as one of the best. Perhaps the best, as she was a genuin blues-singer. She wanted Ma should stand for Madame, but she wasn't. She was just a true bluesartist, and lived her life like one, more than Bessie Smith and other female Blueswomen. So, many call her The Mother Of The Blues and I agree !!! This upload I dedicate to Sandra ! Enjoy ! Peace. Urban. + Informações

Here's another classic, recorded the year before I was born! Born Gertrude Pridgett, she first performed in talent shows when she was about 13 years old . She met Will Rainey (also a performer) and they married in 1904. During the following years, she met the young Bessie Smith, on whom she had great influence (and the rest is history!!) This recording is one of her earliest. Her "Tub Jug Washboard Band" was made up of Herman Brown; kazoo&washboard, Thomas Dorsey; pno. Martin Pettiford; bjo. and Carl Reid; kazoo.. + Informações
