Przeglądaj nuty fortepianowe artysty Professor Longhair w Zen Virtual Piano. Professor Longhair is the stage name of Henry Roeland Byrd, a singer and pianist born on December 19, 1918, in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Byrd and his mother settled in New Orleans around 1921. There, as a child, he learned to play on worn-out uprights, found discarded in alleyways. Britannica adds that Byrd patched up an old discarded piano and mastered it under the tutelage of barrelhouse pianists Sullivan Rock and Kid Stormy Weather. Longhair began his career in New Orleans in 1948, and Mike Tessitore, owner of the Caldonia Club, gave him his stage name. In 1949, Longhair recorded with a band called the Shuffling Hungarians, creating four songs for the Star Talent record label, including the first version of his signature song Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Moving to New Orleans around 1921, beside beginning his career there in 1948, may point to a musician whose work centered on that city. Longhair was especially enamored with Cuban music, and his style was known locally as rumba-boogie. The deft use of triplets in the right hand is a characteristic of Longhair's style. Barrelhouse tutelage in his youth, beside a locally named rumba-boogie style, may hint at more than one tradition in his playing. Longhair first recorded Big Chief with its composer, Earl King, in 1964. Earl King composed the piece during his school years. Wardell Quezergue set up a session with Longhair, and that is where King brought the tune back to mind. Quezergue, King and Smokey Johnson, who also played on the session, talked Longhair into adding a horn ensemble of eleven or fifteen pieces. He had first wanted a small ensemble for the song. Watch Records of New Orleans released it as a single in February 1965. Longhair's wish for a small ensemble, beside the single released in February 1965, may point to a released recording that differs from his original plan. In the 1960s, Professor Longhair's career faltered. Britannica says he attained greater recognition in the 1970s, some 30 years into his career, and topped off his career with the critically acclaimed Crawfish Fiesta in 1980. In 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Crawfish Fiesta in 1980, beside the 1992 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, may hint at honors coming in more than one form. A heart attack took Professor Longhair in his sleep. A documentary about him was still being filmed, and its planned climax, a live concert, had not yet happened. Tipitina's, a New Orleans music venue, takes its name from one of his signature songs. It was built specifically so that Longhair had a place to perform in his aged years. Four songs recorded for Star Talent in 1949, beside a documentary still being filmed when he died, may suggest a musician whose work was captured in both recordings and film.
