- Description:
- Portrait of legendary blues musician, B.B. King performing at the 1980 Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival. "Riley “B.B.” King has been called the “King of the Blues” and “Ambassador of the Blues,” and indeed he’s reigned across the decades as the genre’s most recognizable and influential artist, his half-century of success owes much to his hard work as a touring musician who consistently logged between 200 and 300 shows a year, through it all he’s remained faithful to the blues while keeping abreast of contemporary trends and deftly incorporating other favored forms - jazz and pop, for instance - into his musical overview ... as a guitarist, King is best-known for his single-note solos, played on a hollowbody Gibson guitar, King’s unique tone is velvety and regal, with a discernible sting, he’s known for his trilling vibrato, wicked string bends, and a judicious approach that makes every note count," from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum's website.

- Description:
- Portrait of jazz singer and lyricist, Eddie Jefferson who was shot to death outside Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit, Michigan. "The founder of vocalese (putting recorded solos to words), Eddie Jefferson did not have a great voice, but he was one of the top jazz singers, getting the maximum out of what he had, he started out working as a tap dancer, but by the late '40s was singing and writing lyrics," from AllMusic website. "In the early hours of Wednesday, May 9, 1979, jazz singer Eddie Jefferson was leaving Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, on Detroit’s north fringe, where he and his young partner, alto saxophonist Richie Cole, had just completed their opening night performance, Eddie may have had an ominous feeling, for he ended the set abruptly and called a cab. Jefferson, his road manager and a woman friend went outside; Cole and a fan followed soon after, an automobile parked in front of the club pulled up to the cab, the driver fired four shotgun blasts, one of which struck Eddie Jefferson in the chest, he staggered twenty-five feet and died, [Police later arrested 41-year-old Ameer Al-Meet Mujahiid, formerly William Perryman, a frustrated dancer and laid-off factory worker who had known Jefferson for about ten years in New York, but after a three-week trial, a jury brought in a verdict of not guilty], although the singer had been living in Queens, NY, he was buried in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, where he still had family," from Ira Steingroot’s liner notes for Prestige LP There I Go Again.
