T-Bone Walker 1964 "Jazz Blues Set" Chicago, IL Jumbo Concert Poster....

Description

T-Bone Walker 1964 "Jazz Blues Set" Chicago, IL Jumbo Concert Poster. An original cardboard window card advertising a 10-day stint by the hugely influential blues guitarist T-Bone Walker playing at McKie's nightclub in Chicago, IL from October 7-18, 1964. The Jazz Interpreters and Eddie Chamblee were also on the bill.

A member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame, T-Bone inspired and influenced other legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry and B.B. King - to name just a few. B.B. has stated several times that he decided to learn electric guitar after hearing T-Bone's "Stormy Monday." "I thought Jesus himself had returned to earth playing electric guitar," Mr. King told an interviewer. "I became his disciple." Measures 17" x 26" and grades to Near Mint Minus condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: This remains the only specimen of this poster that Heritage has ever seen. This exact poster was sold by us back in July 2021, and that buyer has decided to consign much of his collection to Heritage here in spring 2024.

Condition details: Has some browning along the bottom center portion, along with thumb-soiling above bottom center, creasing in the upper right corner, and smudges in the bottom right corner.
