Down Beat Magazine – February 1992 – B.B. King “E Pluribus Bluesman” Cover
This vintage issue of Down Beat Magazine features B.B. King on the cover, with Gene Santoro’s in-depth article E Pluribus Bluesman examining the King of the Blues at a pivotal point in his career—touring constantly, appearing in videos with Irish rockers, performing at the Bush Inaugural, and balancing fame with the challenges of airplay.
Additional features include Michael Bourne’s profile of Abbey Lincoln, Howard Mandel’s conversation with Dewey Redman, John McDonough’s retrospective on the 75th anniversary of the first jazz recording by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and Zan Stewart’s evaluation of trumpeter Tom Harrell. With extensive record and CD reviews, festival reports, and Steve Turre’s Blindfold Test, this issue captures a wide spectrum of the jazz and blues worlds in the early 1990s.
