Deutsch-Dänischer Singer-Songwriter, Blues- und Rockgitarrist.
Jesper wurde 1992 in München als Sohn der dänischen Modedirektrice Helle Munk und des deutschen Musikers Rainer Germann (Cat Sun Flower) geboren, er behielt die Staatsbürgerschaft seiner Mutter.
Noch unerfahren übernahm der damals 16-Jährige die Bassgitarre in der Bluesrock Band LiLa’s Riot. Lektionen zum professionellen Gitarrenspielen begann Jesper zwischen dem 17. und 18. Lebensjahr zu erlernen.
Jasper’s Freundin boxte den Musiker, der bei Jam-Sessions gerne mal den Weg zur Schule vergaß, regelrecht durch die Abiturprüfungen. Gleich nach dem Abschluss am Städtischen Luisengymnasium München startete seine Solokarriere.
Als kleines Dankeschön widmete Jesper später seiner Freundin den Song Drunk On You.
Amy Winehouse († 23. Juli 2011), Tom Waits und J.J. Cale zählen zu seinen Top Favoriten. Jesper’s Lieblingssong heißt Shake Your Hips von The Rolling Stones. Gegenwärtig spielt er auf einer Les Paul Bonnamassa Gitarre und der 11 saitigen Strat.
Jesper’s zweiter Berufswunsch tendiert zwischen Gitarrenbauer und Goldschmied. Seine 1. selbstgebaute Gitarre machte er seiner Freundin zum Geschenk.
Ralf Sommer, Radakteur des Bayrischen Rundfunks, entdeckte Jesper Munk beim Straßenmusizieren in München und lud ihn zum Vorspielen ins Studio 12 des Jugendradios Zündfunk. Hier veröffentlichte Jasper kurz darauf die sehr gelungene Unplugged Version von Timeless Throne.
In Zusammenarbeit mit Lila’s Riot-Schlagzeuger Clemens Graf Finck von Finckenstein und seinem Vater erschien am 14. Juni 2013 das Debütalbum For In My Way It Lies. Jesper’s Vater fungierte als Berater, Bassist und Co-Produzent.
Das zweites Studiowerk Claim erstellte Jesper im Zusammenwirken krass unterschiedlicher Produzenten wie Mocky (Feist, Jamie Lidell), Jon Spencer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Heavy Trash, Pussy Galore) und Sepalot (Blumentopf). Das Resultat ergab 14 Songs, die von Rock, Folk über Soul bis zum Blues reichen.
Jesper definiert den Stil seines neuen Albums als den bittersüßen Konflikt zwischen traditionellen Werten und dem unvermeidlichen Bruch mit Konventionen.
Jesper Munk covert bei verschiedenen Konzerten auch gerne Songs von Little Walter, Etta James oder Willie Nelson.
Beide Alben erhielten nach Veröffentlichung gute Kritiken von Presse, Rundfunk und TV Stationen.

Paul Reddick (born Lakefield, Ontario)[1] is an award-winning Canadian blues singer, songwriter and harmonica player.
Paul Reddick began playing the harmonica at the age of twelve. In 1990, he formed The Sidemen, a blues band based out of Toronto, which toured and recorded until the early 2000s. The Sidemen's album Rattlebag (2001) was nominated for a Juno, as well as a W.C. Handy Award. In 2002, The Sidemen also won three Maple Blues Awards, including Album of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year. Reddick was also the 2008 Maple Blues Award winner as Songwriter of the Year.[2]
Reddick's songs have been used in such feature films as Two If by Sea, Triggermen, Niagara Motel and The Evel Knievel Story, in addition to the television series Due South, Dawson’s Creek, 15 Love and Madison. In 2006, the Coca Cola Company used the song "I'm A Criminal", from Rattlebag, in a US commercial for Coca Cola Classic.

Melding poetry, mystery, darkness and light, along with an extensive knowledge of the history and traditions of blues music is what makes Paul Reddick on of the most popular figures on the blues and roots music scene today. For over 25 years he’s been writing and performing his eclectic brand of blues, bringing the art form to new frontiers with his rapacious, deep vocals, masterful harmonica playing and song writing. As the unofficial poet laureate of Canadian blues, words are his weapon of choice and when he sings, it is near impossible not to listen and get lost within the songs, right alongside him and illustrating what the influential British magazine Mojo described as his “wayward brilliance.”
A devotee of pre-war blues and classic artists such as Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson and Howlin’ Wolf, Reddick formed his innovative band Paul Reddick & The Sidemen in Toronto in 1990, developing a cult-like following in the clubs and venues on the circuit at the time and spent a the better part decade touring across Canada. Together they released four albums, two of which were JUNO nominated and in 2002 their ground breaking release Rattlebag won three Maple Blues Awards including Electric Act of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Album of the Year and was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award in the USA. One of the tracks from Rattlebag, the gritty “I’m A Criminal”, was used in the popular Coca-Cola “Sip Stealing” television commercial that aired during the Superbowl. Following the trajectory set forth by The Sidemen, Reddick continued to re-work blues traditions on his solo recordings; Villanelle (2004), Sugarbird (2009), which earned Reddick a Maple Blues Award for Songwriter of the Year, and his seminal recording Wishbone (2012). These recordings were released to critical acclaim from reviewers around the world.
Reddick is also the creator and benefactor of The Cobalt Prize for Contemporary Blues Composition. The intention behind the Cobalt Prize is to promote blues music through exploration of its form. Entries are judged on their ability to creatively utilize blues traditions within the broad contemporary musical landscape. The inaugural Colbalt Prize was awarded at the Maple Blues Awards in 2015, and will continue to be an annual event.
With his extensive career and importance as a major player in the Canadian blues scene, there is no doubt that Paul Reddick will long continue to be an innovator and boundary-pusher in the genre.
This is poetry. This is history. This is blues. This is Paul Reddick.

Johnnie Taylor +31.05.2000
Johnnie
Harrison Taylor (May 5, 1934 – May 31, 2000)[1] was an American
vocalist in a wide variety of genres, from blues, rhythm and blues,
soul, and gospel to pop, doo-wop and disco.Biography
Early years
Johnnie Taylor was born in Crawfordsville, Arkansas. As a child, he grew up in West Memphis, Arkansas and performed in gospel groups as a youngster. As an adult, he had one release, "Somewhere to Lay My Head", on Chicago's Chance Records label in the 1950s, as part of the gospel group Highway QCs, which had been founded by a young Sam Cooke. His singing was strikingly close to that of Sam Cooke, and he was hired to take Cooke's place in the latter's gospel group, the Soul Stirrers, in 1957.
A few years later, after Cooke had established his independent SAR Records, Taylor signed on as one of the label's first acts and recorded "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" in 1962. However, SAR Records quickly became defunct after Cooke's death in 1964.
In 1966, Taylor moved to Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was dubbed "The Philosopher of Soul". While there he recorded with the label's house band, Booker T. & the MGs. His hits included "I Had a Dream", "I've Got to Love Somebody's Baby" (both written by the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter) and most notably "Who's Making Love", which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1968. "Who's Making Love" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[2]
During his tenure at Stax, he became an R&B star, with over a dozen chart successes, such as "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone", which reached No. 23 on the Hot 100 chart, "Cheaper to Keep Her" (Mack Rice) and record producer Don Davis's penned "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)", which reached No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart. "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)" also sold in excess of one million units, and was awarded gold disc status by the R.I.A.A. in October 1973.[2] Taylor, along with Isaac Hayes and The Staple Singers was one of the label's flagship artists. He appeared in the documentary film, Wattstax, which was released in 1973.[3]
Columbia Records
After Stax folded in 1975, Taylor switched to Columbia Records, where he made his best known hit, "Disco Lady", in 1976. It spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and six weeks on the Billboard R&B chart in the U.S. It peaked at #25 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1976.[4] "Disco Lady" was the first certified platinum single (two million copies sold) by the RIAA.
Malaco Records
After a brief stint at Beverly Glen Records, Taylor signed with Malaco Records after the label's founder Tommy Couch and producing partner Wolf Stephenson heard him sing at blues singer Z. Z. Hill's funeral in the spring of 1984.
Backed by members of The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as well as in-house veterans like former Stax keyboardist Carson Whitsett and guitarist/bandleader Bernard Jenkins, Malaco gave Taylor the type of recording freedom that Stax had given him in the late 1960s and early 1970s, enabling him to record ten albums for the label in his sixteen-year stint.
In 1996, Taylor's eighth album for Malaco, Good Love!, reached number one on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart (#15 R&B), and was the biggest record in Malaco's history. With this success, Malaco recorded a live video of Taylor at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas in the summer of 1997. The club portion of the "Good Love" video was recorded at 1001 Nightclub in Jackson, Mississippi.
Taylor's final song was "Soul Heaven", in which he dreamed of being at a concert featuring deceased African American music icons from Louis Armstrong to Otis Redding to Z.Z. Hill to Notorious B.I.G., among others.
Radio
In the 1980s Johnnie Taylor was a DJ on KKDA-FM, a Dallas/Fort Worth radio station. The station's format was mostly R&B and Soul oldies and their on-the-air personalities were often local R&B, Soul, blues, and jazz musicians. Mr. Taylor was billed as "The Wailer, Johnnie Taylor".
Death
Taylor died of a heart attack at Charlton Methodist Hospital in Dallas, Texas, on May 31, 2000, aged 66.[5] Stax billed Johnnie Taylor as "The Philosopher of Soul". He was also known as "the Blues Wailer". He was buried beside his mother, Ida Mae Taylor, at Forrest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri.
Awards
Taylor was given a Pioneer Award by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 1999.
Musical influence
In 2004, the UK's Shapeshifters sampled Taylor's 1982 "What About My Love?", for their #1 hit single, "Lola's Theme".
