El mítico y octogenario bluesman norteamericano se une al armonicista Marcos Coll para esta gira que pasa por Bogui Jazz el 6 de junio, en un concierto con el que inauguramos la nueva iniciativa de todos los jueves en Bogui Jazz, "Noche de Blues".

Sidney "Guitar Crusher" Selby y Marcos Coll se conocen en Berlín en el 2004. Después de hacer colaboraciones en jamm sessions, Guitar Crusher colabora en el disco "Hot Tin Roof" de la banda de Marcos Coll Los Reyes Del Ko. A raíz de eso empiezan a colaborar a menudo, haciendo festivales y giras, con actuaciones en el festival de Blues de Cazorla o en el de Burlada, así como en otros festivales en Europa.

La trayectoria de Marcos Coll está llena de lugares y, sobre todo, nombres de músicos con los que ha colaborado, sea en directo o en grabaciones. El doble disco "Under the wings" recoge parte de ese extenso currículum, canciones grabadas entre 1999 y 2011. Escuchándolo, uno se da cuenta de que Marcos Coll no es sólo un músico de blues. Es un pedazo de armonicista, que toca blues, pero que es capaz de amoldarse a cualquier otro estilo que tenga relación con la música negra, sea funk, hip hop, soul o afrofunk.

Bio in English:

Sidney Selby is a true blues man. He also goes by 'Bone Crusher' and 'Guitar Crusher', names he earned throughout his career. Born in rural Hyde County N.C. in 1931 during the height of the Depression, he toiled in the cotton fields during his youth but set aside Sundays for exercising his rich baritone in the choir of Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church, continuing a tradition which gave rise to a whole generation of blues singers of his era.

He moved to New York in the 50s, found a job and started singing in Church again. However. encouraged by his friends, he soon formed his own band, the Midnight Rockers and began attracting a large following.

The year 1960 marked the beginning of a decade of performances with The Drifters, The Isley Brothers, Ben E. King and other major R&B talents which flourished during the 1960's musical renaissance.

Selby was signed by Columbia Records and remained under contract until 1970, when the musical tastes in America began to shift away from blues and soul sounds. So, in the early 80s Guitar Crusher headed for Europe and a more hospitals blues climate. Here his performance on major festivals marked the start of his comeback. The now internationally-known singer and writer has since accorded 4 albums singing his own compositions with force and assurance in his gospel-inflected voice. His transfixing vocal power won him a reputation as 'The Big Voice From New York', a headliner on the european blues-circuit.
