Don Vappie Performs
at Duke University
with Otis Taylor
and Corey Harris

Jan 22, 2009, 8 pm
Page Auditorium
at Duke University

Blues visionary Taylor is pursuing a radical project: to reclaim the lost history of an American instrument. With a MacArthur prize winning bluesman (Harris) and a jazz banjo virtuoso (Vappie), he reasserts the black roots of an instrument too long associated with white culture. In performance, these masters enmesh tales of African-American life—“Ran So Hard the Sun Went Down,” and Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe”—in the shifting chord changes of the banjo blues.
