It is more than 20 years now since Barbara Hendricks added jazz to her repertoire, inspired as she was by Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Festival. This music is part of her roots, the roots of someone who began by singing negro spirituals in the church of her father, a pastor in Arkansas. Having explored Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday in 2008 with the disc 'Barbara Sings the Blues', she's back singing the blues and exploring its roots.
Recorded live in Stockholm in 2015, this programme, 'Blues Everywhere I Go', takes us on a journey through the cotton plantations of the Mississippi Delta: from the poignant expression of human distress with songs such as 'Dinks Blues' and the 'Cross Road Blues' by Robert Johnson, to the political aspect and its important link with the struggle for civil rights led by Martin Luther King epitomised by 'Strange Fruit', 'Down In Mississippi' and 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free' by Nina Simone.
Accompanied by the musicians and partners with whom she has been on tour for years, Barbara Hendricks, whose voice has matured like a fine wine, bewitches wuth a variety of tone-colours.
