Greek Blues Scene: Q&A with Smokin' Blues Sessions - trying to catch the feeling of the pre-war blues

"Blues music, as a means of art, aims in showing the harsh environment in which it was created. It managed to get people to realize the harshness of slavery and human exploitation and therefore it created the path to understanding not only the way in which music can be used for relief and mental healing, but also as way of deeper understanding of slavery itself. Thus, it would be common sense to say that blues music helped in changing the social and…

Q&A with Greek drummer Alex Apostolakis - collaborated with an impressive array from great blues artists

"Black music is what brought us jazz, blues and rock. Being honest, truthful and expressive, that music naturally attracts people who aspire to be the same.

It just takes a working brain to see through the hype and someday maybe we won’t be fooled."…
