Subject: Re: Corky Siegel

Corky Siegel is a great harp player and was with the Siegel-Schwall Band out
of Chicago in the 70's. They recorded a number of albums which feature Siegel
on harp and keyboards. The band had a light, fun sound and many songs were
molded in the Jimmy Reed style. They produced quality tunes with good
dynamics and a sense of humor. They were a midwestern favorite at music
festivals in the mid '70's . He then went solo and produced several albums.
Corky's style is very clean sounding (not Chicago distorted blues) and he uses
lots of dynamics.

Finally, he got into "Chamber Music" which is a mixture of classical/blues
oriented stuff. He probably will be playing the Chamber Music when he plays
in your city (which he does these days, I understand). Once in a while the S-S
band does a reunion show (like at the Chicago Blues Festival). I think, too,
there is a web page for him ??? which you can access to get more info.

One of my all time favorites. Own every album they (he) made.
