Little Brother Montgomery

Eurreal Wilford ”Little Brother” Montgomery (18. huhtikuuta 1906 Kentwood, Louisiana – 6. syyskuuta 1985 Champaign, Illinois[1]) oli yhdysvaltalainen jazz- ja bluesmuusikko, pianisti ja laulaja.

Elämä

Varhainen elämä

Montgomery syntyi Kentwoodin sahakaupungissa, joka sijaitsee lähellä Mississippin rajaa ja New Orleansia, jossa hän vietti suuren osan lapsuuttaan. Lapsena hän muistutti isäänsä Harper Montgomerya ja niinpä häntä kutsuttiin Little Brother Harperiksi. Myöhemmin se muuntui loppuelämän säilyneeksi lempinimeksi Little Brother Montgomery. Montgomery alkoi soittaa pianoa neljävuotiaana ja 11-vuotiaana soitteli baareissa ympäri Louisianan. Hän sai musiikillisia vaikutteita Jelly Roll Mortonilta, joka kyläili Montgomereilla.

Uran alku

Montgomery saapui Chicagoon vuonna 1926 ja levytti vuonna 1930 ensimmäiset levytyksensä Paramountille. Hän äänitti neljä kappaletta, joista ”Vicksburg Blues” ja ”No Special Rider” muodostuivat hänen tunnuskappaleikseen[2]. Bluebirdille hän levytti vuosina 1935–1936 New Orleansissa. Vuosina 1931–1938 hän johti yhtyettä Jacksonissa.

Myöhempi ura Chigacossa

Vuonna 1942 Little Brother Montgomery asettui Chicagoon ja soitti klubeilla bluesia ja perinteistä jazzia, silloin tällöin myös neworleansilaisten jazzyhtyeiden kuten Kid Oryn ja Franz Jacksonin kanssa. Vuonna 1956 hän kiersi jonkin aikaa myös Otis Rushin kanssa. Montgomeryn suosio kasvoi 1960-luvulla, jolloin hän levytti useita albumeja, osan omalle vuonna 1969 perustetulle levymerkilleen FM Recordsille. Nimi tuli hänen toisen vaimonsa Janet Flobergin tyttönimestä ja Montgomerysta.

Little Brother Montgomery kuoli syyskuussa 1985 ja hänet on haudattu Oak Woodsin hautausmaalle Chicagoon.
