This week we will re-broadcast a favorite Route 51 show, with harmonica virtuoso and blues pioneer Corky Siegel, for an hour of lively conversation and live music. Corky talks about his long career that started in the sixties with the legendary Siegel-Schwall Band, and progressed through the seventies and eighties with a series of critically acclaimed solo albums, to the Deutsch Grammophon release of William Russo’s Three Pieces for Blues Band and Symphony Orchestra with Seiji Ozawa and the San Francisco Symphony, to his own symphonic compositions and collaborations. This show was originally broadcast in January 2011.
