Estrin was born in San Francisco, California in 1949, and fell in love with blues after his sister presented him with Ray Charles' The Genius Sings The Blues when he was 12. He began playing harmonica at age 15, and by age 18 was beginning to work professionally. Early in his career he played with Lowell Fulson, Z.Z. Hill, Travis Phillips, and Fillmore Slim. Estrin names Sonny Boy Williamson II, Little Walter Jacobs and Baby Boy Warren as key inspirations.  He played with and was mentored by Rodger Collins (whose 45rpm recordings include "She's Looking Good" and "Foxy Girls" In Oakland). Estrin moved to Chicago when he was 19 and worked with bluesmen Sam Lay, Johnny Littlejohn, Eddie Taylor and Johnny Young.  He met and sat in with Muddy Waters at the Sutherland Hotel in Chicago. He told the Sacramento Bee, "Muddy started shaking his finger in my face and said, ‘You outta sight, boy! You play like a man! I know that sound. That's my sound.'" Muddy tried to hire Estrin as a sideman but Estrin did not receive the phone call, and moved back to the Bay Area. He met guitarist Charlie Baty in 1973 and they created Little Charlie & the Nightcats based in Sacramento, California. Estrin fronted Little Charlie & the Nightcats for 30 years and performed around the world. They were nominated four times for the Blues Music Award for Band of the Year. In 2008, Baty retired from touring. Guitarist Kid Andersen joined Estrin with previous band members Hansen and Farrell and they formed Rick Estrin & The Nightcats that same year.   wwwmarkhummel.com www.patreon.com/markhummel

Oskar SalaPiece Played - Diagram - Five Short Pieces for TrautoniumGerman inventor/composer Oskar Sala is best known for his role in developing the Trautonium: one of the earliest electronic instruments and a contemporary of the French Ondes Martenot and Russian theremin. While the Trautonium would eventually be viewed as a relic of electronic music's past, the instrument's tonal quality and expressive capabilities remain sadly unparalleled in the technology that followed. Nearly 70 years after its creation, its legacy seemed highly uncertain, as Sala was the only one capable of playing it.Born in Berlin in 1910, Oskar Sala was introduced to the Trautonium in 1929. That year, while studying under composer Paul Hindemith, Sala attended a demonstration of the instrument given by its inventor, Friedrich Trautwein. The student soon began working alongside Trautwein, undergoing a crash course in electronics to develop the prototype into an acceptable model. The new instrument was unveiled at a christening performance of Hindemith's "Trio Pieces for Three Trautonia" at the music academy in Berlin. Resembling a simultaneously archaic/futuristic version of the piano, the Trautonium replaces keys with two wires that run the length of the keyboard. These wires, hovering above metal rails, are what the musician plays, altering the subsequent tones via a multitude of dials and switches. The initial, overwhelming success of the instrument is rather surprising given the political environment of the time. Nazi Germany had begun the ethnic and cultural cleansing that would drive many artists (including Hindemith) out of the country. Not only did Sala's Trautonium escape being squelched, the government actually provided funding for additional models including the Radio Trautonium (showcased across German airwaves on a weekly program), the Volks-Trautonium (a failed attempt at a household model), and the portable Concert-Trautonium, which Sala took on tour.Following the Second World War, with Trautwein having all but relinquished control of the instrument, Sala developed the Mixture-Trautonium, a revised model which gave the musician the ability to produce musical undertones. The 1950s found Sala busy composing, producing works for television ads and feature films, and performing with fellow Hindemith student Harald Genzmer on the new model. Yet Sala's general failure to collaborate with his electronic music contemporaries probably contributed to his relative obscurity. He did, however, receive his 15 minutes of fame. In 1961, unsatisfied with the effects sound technicians turned up for his film The Birds, director Alfred Hitchcock enlisted Sala's help. Pleased with the results, Hitchcock turned over the film's score (a non-musical construction) to the composer. In the electronic boom that followed in the 1970s, the Trautonium attracted attention from Krautrock acts Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. In 1987 Sala was honored with the Filmband in Gold for his soundtrack work. As the century drew to a close, Sala (approaching his 90th birthday) spent his days diligently practicing, composing, and experimenting on the Mixture-Trautonium from a studio near his home. A staggering 600-plus reels of tape are said to exist in the composer's personal vault. In the late 1990s, Germany's Fax label issued two collections of Sala performances: My Fascinating Instrument (1995) and Subharmonic Mixtures (1997). ~ Nathan BushTrautoniumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzc3d_qcNYsRick Estrin awards2013 Blues Music Award best instrumentalist harmonica 1994 Blues Muisc AwardSong of the year My Next Ex-wife2020 Blues Music Award Instrumentalist harmonicaRick Estrin and the NightcatsMembersRick Estrin Harmonica,...

Rick Estrin joins me on episode 52.Rick grew up in San Francisco and starting sitting in with bands in the city.  He was friends with Jerry Portnoy, who persuaded him to spend some time in Chicago. Here he met many of the harmonica greats, and missed the golden opportunity for the harmonica chair in the Muddy Waters band. It turned out this wasn't a bad thing though, as Rick forged his own path with Little Charlie & The Nightcats (later Rick Estrin & The Nightcats). A band in which he has played harmonica, sung and wrote most of the lyrics for well over 40 years. And with great success as the band has won many Blues Music Awards, including for Rick's harmonica playing and songwriting prowess.Links:Rick's Website:http://www.rickestrin.comInstructional DVD is listed at the bottom of this page:https://rickestrin.com/musicEP Booster pedal:https://xotic.us/effects/ep-booster/Videos:Rick singing with Little Charlie & The Nightcats in 1981:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyEYO1Pkosg‘Contemporary' album video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY1tkJRrx9Q&t=9sI Met Her On The Blues Cruise:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqS_nL2jvHE&t=55sRick Estrin & The Nightcats at World Harmonica Festival, 2013:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sccRtO1mJfw&t=6sPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations: If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link:https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBAlso check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains many of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQ

Najee, jazz saxophonist and flautist, started his music career playing in a band that performed for our troops around the world.  His first major break was supporting Ben E. King.  In 1983, Najee toured with Chaka Khan, before he recorded his first solo album three years later.  The album - Najee's Theme, earned him a GRAMMY nomination for Best Jazz Album.  On this episode, award-winning musicologist, Ray White, catches up with Najee in July, during his 2017 tour, to discuss his upcoming album - Poetry In Motion.  The album features an all-star cast including Will Downing, Incognito, Maysa and Bobby Lyle. Lisa Davis, your "Hostess With The Mostest," highlights Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, whose latest release is Groovin In Graceland which features his dynamic electric blues sound.  For more information about the programming on our shows, visit www.cooolcat.com

The coolest blues band in the world is back for more big fun and world class rhythm and blues on “Groovin’ in Greaseland.”

With his wily and unforgettable original songs and his hipster, street-smart vocals, no one on the blues scene writes or sings like harmonica ace Rick Estrin. No one looks like him either, as Estrin is always dressed to the nines, sporting his trademark pencil-line mustache and pompadour haircut. The San Francisco native cut his teeth as a teen with ZZ Hill, Fillmore Slim, Travis Phillips and Roger Collins before finding a place with the legendary west coast hallmark band, Little Charlie in the Night Cats during the 70’s. Rick became the band leader when Charlie departed in 2008 and released his fourth studio effort for Chicago’s famed Alligator records, “Groovin’ in Greaseland” which features 13 new tracks recorded in the home studio of bandmate wonder kid, Kid Anderson who is a rising blues star in his own right. Rick is self-described as ‘peculiar’ and has won several awards for his extraordinary harmonica talent.

RICK ESTRIN AND THE NIGHTCATS WILL TOTALLY ENTERTAIN YOU. LISTEN AND GET IN THE SOUND.

You Asked For It...Live! captures an inspired performance in front of a pumped up hometown crowd that features wit, funky rhythms and a thoroughly modern version of the blues.

We turn this week to the harp - not the stringed instrument of the angels but the Mississippi Saxophone - the blues harp. There's a killer harp track in nearly every set of this edtion, featuring Little Mike & The Tornadoes, Seth Walker, Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, Leon Russell, and Bob Corritore. For blues fans it's a heavenly hour. It's definitely another hour of the finest blues you've never heard, the 487th Roadhouse.

NIKKI HILL hails from Durham, North Carolina. She draws on vintage female rhythm and blues influences such as LaVern Baker, Etta James and Ruth Brown, as well as some of her favorite male singers Otis Redding and Solomon Burke, without being stuck or pi-geonholed strictly as a �retro� artist. Her tough vocal style fits with contemporary sensi-bilities yet evokes all the great blues shouters of previous decades. With the success of similar artists such as Amy Winehouse or Imelda May, Hill is poised to blaze her own trail in their wake. Her upcoming release is �Here�s Nikki Hill�! RICK ESTRIN ranks among the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world. His work on the reeds is deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. Rick was awarded the Blues Foundation's prestigious Blues Music Award for Best Harmonica Player at the 34th annual BMA. He will be performing with his band The Nightcats. His latest is 'One Wrong Turn' on Alligator Records.
