Bob Gaddy, Jimmy Spruill and Larry Simon

In the late 1980's I searched out a number of long retired, and sometimes reclusive blues musicians from New York's original post war blues scene. I successfully got them out playing  again across the U.S. and Europe (recording too). This also marked the beginning of work on my book "New York City Blues". I hope you enjoy the following sections of my website with photos, audio and videos featuring these wonderful artists.
