Soko Richardson *08.12.1939
Soko Richardson (December 8, 1939 – January 29, 2004) was an American rhythm and blues drummer. His career spanned almost fifty years, during which he performed and recorded with seminal groups including John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the The Ike & Tina Turner Revue. He is perhaps best known for his innovative arrangement of the Ike and Tina version of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Proud Mary".[1][2]
Biography
Born in New Iberia, Louisiana, Richardson began his musical career at the age of 16, when he left home to tour the South with local bands. Shortly thereafter Ike Turner, upon hearing Richardson play in Texas, hired him to play with his band, Kings of Rhythm, and then later with The Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Richardson worked with Turner for the next ten years. In March 1971 Richardson's arrangement of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Proud Mary" reached number four on the pop charts, and number five on the R&B charts. The song became a signature song for Tina Turner, and won the band a Grammy for "Best R&B Vocal Performance By A Group."[1][3]
In 1971, Richardson joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, with whom he would tour and record for the next decade, playing with many of the diverse artists to whom Mayall gave a start.[4][5][6]
In the mid 1980s, Richardson joined Albert Collins and the Icebreakers, and became an influential member of the Chicago Blues scene. He helped earn the Icebreakers the WC Handy Award as Blues Band of The Year in 1985.[1][2]
Over the years Richardson recorded with many other artists, including Pee Wee Crayton, Bobby Womack and English guitarist Terry Reid, with whom he was recording an album at the time of his death. Though limited by health problems in later years, he continued to perform and record, and sit in on jam sessions with friends. He played his last gig a few weeks before his death, at a club with Reid.[1][2]
Richardson died in the early hours of January 29, 2004, in his home in Los Angeles, from complications of diabetes. He was 64.

Walter Baumgartner *08.12.1966
Walter Baumgartner ist mit dem Blues und dessen Musik, vermutlich bevor er es selber realisierte, seit einer Ewigkeit verbunden. Er hat drum sein ehemaliges Hobby, die Musik, vor einigen Jahren zu seinem Beruf gemacht. Mit seiner Stimme und Mundharmonika begeistert er seit Jahren an Konzerten und Veranstaltungen, und wirbt so erfolgreich für diesen grundlegenden, bodenständigen und wegweisenden Musikstil der Schwarzen aus dem Süden der Staaten.
Aktuell konzentriert sich sein musikalisches Schaffen vor allem auf die folgenden 2 Bandprojekte Walt’s Blues Box (komplette Band, manchmal mit einem gesamten Bläsersatz) und Acoustic Blues Drifter (akustischer Blues in 2-er oder 3-er Formation). Nebenbei spielt er bei „Ray Fein & Friends“ sowie mit verschiedenen anderen Formationen, so u.a. auch mit 4some blues, einer wienerisch schweizerisch besetzte traditionelle Blues Gruppe. Mit diesen Formationen tourt Walter Baumgartenr regelmässig seit einigen Jahren im In- und Ausland. Er ist Gastmusiker bei verschiedenen Bands und hat auf verschiedenen CD Produktionen mitgewirkt. Selber hat er mit seinen Formationen bisher 9 Alben eingespielt. 2016 hat er den Swiss Blues Award in Basel gewonnen.
Er hat in Vergangenheit eine 2 stündige Blues Sendung auf dem lokalen Radio Stadtfilter von Winterthur live moderiert. Zudem hat er in Winterthur die inzwischen seit 7 Jahren bekannte und gute besuchte monatliche Albani Thursday Blues Session ins Leben gerufen. Er führte zudem 4 Mal die Winterthurer Blues Night im Salzhaus, Winterthur durch.
Walter gibt Einzel- und Gruppenunterricht Privat, an der Musikschule Prova, Winterthur. Er leitet seit längerem Workshops im In- und Ausland. Zudem ist er seit einigen Jahren Endorser der Firma Hohner und spielt exklusiv Hohner Harmonicas.

Walter Baumgartner ist am 8.12.1966 in St. Gallen geboren. Trotz einer frühen Ausbildung an der Violine mit Start im jungen Alter von 6 Jahren, verbrachte er die Zeit bis zu seinem 27. Lebensjahr v.a. mit Sport. Musik spielte bis dahin eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Es brauchte 1996 schon eine geballte Ladung Blues Musik durch Grössen wie Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles oder Roben Ford, um den Blues kennenzulernen, zu lieben und zu praktizieren. Seither jedoch ist seine Seele der Musik und dem Blues im besonderen verschrieben. Musiker wie Charlie Musselwhite, Steve Baker, Little Walter, Mark Ford, Joe Walter, Jean Jacques Millteau, Eric Bibb, Delbert McClinton, Roland Van Straaten, Daniel Buchmann oder Keb Mo' prägten ihn. Dank seinen eigenen Bandformationen, dank toller Kooperationen wie u.a. mit Ray Fein (von Che and Ray) oder dank verschiedener Gastauftritte wie z.B. früher mit Larry Schmuki (Larry's Blues Band) konnte Walt seine Stimme und seine Mundharmonika präsentieren und so seinen Weg gehen.
Aktuell konzentriert sich sein musikalisches Schaffen vor allem auf die folgenden 3 eigenen Bandprojekte: Walt’s Blues Box (komplette Band, manchmal mit einem gesamten Bläsersatz), 4some blues (traditioneller swingiger und jumpiger Blues mit ehemaligen Mojo Blues Band Musikern) und Acoustic Blues Drifter (Akustischer Blues in 2-er oder 3-er Formation). Ebenso spielt er bei einer von Ray Fein (Che & Ray) "handverlesenen" Musik-Truppe an speziellen Anlässen mit. Er tritt zudem auch unter dem Namen "Walt & Friends" an verschiedenen Veranstaltungen mit verschiedenen Musikern je nach Wunsch des Veranstalters auf. Er ist Gastmusiker bei verschiedenen Bands und hat auf verschiedenen CD Produktionen mitgewirkt. Selber hat er mit seinen Formationen bisher 7 Alben eingespielt. Das neustes Album „4some blues“ kommt im Frühling 2013 heraus.
Seit ca. 1 Jahr präsentiert er immer am 1. Dienstag im Monat eine 2 stündige Blues Sendung auf dem lokalen Radio Stadtfilter von Winterthur (96.3 Mhz). Zudem hat er in Winterthur die inzwischen seit 5 Jahren bekannte und gute besuchte monatliche Thursday Blues Session im Albani sowie die 4 Mal organisierte Winterthurer Blues Night im Salzhaus ins Leben gerufen.
Walt gibt Einzel- und Gruppenunterricht und leitet seit längerem Workshops im In- und Ausland. Er ist Endorser der Firma HOHNER und spielt exklusiv HOHNER Harmonicas.

Walter Baumgartner discovered his love to blues very late at the age of 27, but from then on he was totally into it. Musicians like Steve Baker, Charlie Musselwhite, Little Walter and more formed his style. Due to great cooperations and guest appearances in several bands, Walter had the possibility to show his talent as often as possible.
At the moment Walter focusses on his own three bands: Walt's Blues Box, 4some blues and Acoustic Blues Drifter. Sometimes he also works with Ray Fein's group. Walter also has a flexible band called "Walt & Friends" where he mixes up with different musicians.
Walter gives private and group lessons and leads some workshop in and out of Germany.

Sam Kelly *08.12.
Sam started playing back in in the early ’70s on a kit that belonged to his brother. Back in those days, playing the drums was his form of “anger management” – but out of that came discipline, creativity and obviously some musical talent!!
In the early 70’s, Sam joined his very first band, “CYMANDE”. Although not well known in the UK, Cymande worked in the USA, successfully touring to promote 3 albums which were released on the Janus label, a subsidiary of Chess records (part of the 2nd album was recorded at Chess studios, Chicago). Cymande’s music has retained a cult following over the years and even today the name is still well known by the new generation of successful garage, hip-hop and rap artists who have sampled several of the original tracks.
Nearly 40 years on, Sam is still working on Cymande projects. In 2013, core members (Patrick, Steve, Sam, Mike, Pablo and Derrick) reunited to reignite the Cymande “flame”. The band, together with their original producer, John Schroeder, have recorded an eagerly-awaited album of new material which was released on 27th November 2015 entitled “A Simple Act of Faith”. This will delight their fans worldwide. Cymande have performed at The Barbican, Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival, Camp Bestival, Bestival and The Forum, London as part of Craig Charles Funk & Soul Christmas Party. Cymande returned to the States in June 2016 for a two-week high profile sell-out tour including shows at SummerStage, New York Central Park and Bonnaroo Festival in Nashville. Cymande were also interviewed on KCRW Radio:
In 2007, Sam was involved in BBC3’s Soul Britannia season at the Barbican. He took on the role of Musical Director, leading his own band, Sam Kelly’s Station House, as the rhythm section for the Soul Britannia Allstars Review. This Review included Madeline Bell, Linda Lewis, Hamish Stewart, Carol Grimes and the Cymande All Stars featuring Jimmy Lindsay.
Providing a rhythm section for respected, established musicians is where Sam Kelly’s Station House show their musical ability and professional commitment. Here is their performance over two nights at Paul Jones’ Charity Christmas Show at Cranleigh Arts Centre:
And again with Chicago Beau at Burghausen Jazz Festival in Germany
Sam is currently drumming with Cymande, Together As One, Papa George Band, Chuck Farley, Geoff Achison and the UK Souldiggers, Giles Hedley and the Aviators, Serious Blues and Connie Lush. Early in 2008, Sam went into the studio to record the rhythm tracks for the late great, Gary Moore’s last R&B album, ‘Bad For you Baby’. He also joined Gary’s band for a 10-date tour in Germany.
Over the years Sam has worked with Chaka Khan, Dr John, Ben E. King, Robert Plant, The Foundations, Gordon Haskell, Billy Ocean, Desmond Dekker, Eddie Floyd, Roger Chapman, Michelle Shocked, Stan Webb, Gary Moore and Ottis Taylor………… to name but a few. Recently, with Mick Ralphs, Paul Jones, Imelda May, Robben Ford, Andy Fairweather Low and Chris Barber.
Sam also runs his own bands – roots/reggae band “FOWOKAN”, the bluesy Sam Kelly’s Band and the funky Sam Kelly’s Station House:
Sam’s long career covers live gigs, festivals, drum workshops, theatre work, radio and TV sessions, both in the UK and overseas. He has been voted into Blues In Britain magazine Gallery of the Greats, as a five-times winner of the ‘UK Drummer of the Year’ award. In 2014 Sam was awarded first place in the “Drummer” category for Blues Matters Writer’s Poll and runner-up in the British Blues Awards 2016. Combining his years of experience and his reputation within the UK blues fraternity, Sam is a highly accessible, sought after drummer.
