This half-hour French TV show from the '60s begins with four instrumental selections from stride pianist Joe Turner (1907-1990). He played in the bands of Louis Armstrong and Benny Carter. After World War II, he moved to Europe, where he was popular for many years. He is not to be confused with blues/R&B shouter Big Joe Turner, who had many hits for Atlantic Records in the '50s.
However, the real attraction begins at 13:45 into the program: Four great songs from the New Orleans blues singer and pianist Champion Jack Dupree. Enjoy!
