Champion Jack Dupree: Champion Jack Dupree - Rocks (CD)

1-CD DigiPac (6-plated) with 36-page booklet, 29 tracks, playing time 78:14 minutes.

• Multi-label compilation features Dupree classics originally on the Red Robin, Groove,Apollo, Vik, and Atlantic labels—all of them blistering rockers 
• Jack’s all-star sidemen include guitarists Brownie McGhee, his brother ‘Stick’ McGhee, and Larry Dale and sax blasters Sam ‘The Man’ Taylor, King Curtis, and Pete Brown
• Dupree’s hybrid of New Orleans R&B and New York blues was singular
• No other Dupree collection encompasses so many vintage labels
• In-depth liner notes by compiler Bill Dahl cover the entirety of Dupree’s spectacular career as a pioneering blues and barrelhouse pianist
• Rare photos and illustrations in the booklet.


Champion Jack Dupree came by his pugilistic moniker naturally. Before the New Orleans-born piano pounder became a blues legend, he was a prolific prizefighter. But Dupree’s legacy resides not standing in the ring but sitting at the ivories. Over the course of an incredible career that stretched across more than half a century, Jack did an amazing amount of recording - and a whole lot of rocking. 

Dupree laid down a slew of barrelhouse boogies and floor-rattling rocking blues during the postwar era, and Bear Family’s ‘Champion Jack Dupree Rocks’ brings together an impressive array of his greatest rafter-rattlers, With non-stop Dupree stormers including Shake Baby Shake, Shim Sham Shammy, and Nasty Boogie, this disc rocks from beginning to end!

Seit er 1940 für OKeh erstmals auf Schallplatte auftauchte (sein Junker Blues von 1941 war der direkte Vorläufer von Fats Dominos The Fat Man fast ein Jahrzehnt später), hatte der aus New Orleans stammende Champion Jack Dupree die Klaviertasten mit einer Wildheit traktiert, die den Rock'n'Roll vorwegnahm.

Auf Shim Sham Shimmy, 1953 für das New Yorker Red Robin Label von Bobby und Danny Robinson aufgenommen, wurde sein donnernder Boogie durch Brownie McGhees krachende verzerrte Leadgitarre zusätzlich angeheizt (Brownies Bruder Stick war ebenfalls an Bord, mit dem Bassisten Bob Harris und Schlagzeuger Willie Jones). Dupree stellte einen neuen Tanz vor, den es aber schon ewig gab, und brüllte seinen Text mit Barrelhouse-erprobtem Übermut.

Als William Thomas Dupree am 4. Juli 1910 (oder an einem anderen der vielen Tage, die er über die Jahre angegeben hat) geboren, verbrachte er einen Großteil seiner Kindheit in New Orleans im Home for Colored Waifs – dem Waisenhaus für Schwarze, das auch Louis Armstrong gut kannte. Er lernte das Klavierspielen zum Teil, indem er lokale Piano-Asse wie Drive 'Em Down und Tuts Washington beobachtete. Dupree ging in den frühen 30er-Jahren nach Norden und erwarb sich seinen Namen 'Champion Jack' als Preisboxer. Er begann seine Plattenkarriere in Chicago für den allgegenwärtigen Lester Melrose auf OKeh, dann diente er während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in der Navy als Koch (und verbrachte zwei Jahre in japanischer Kriegsgefangenschaft).

Nach dem Krieg zurück in den Staaten, etablierte sich Dupree auf der Bluesszene von New York und war als Plattenkünstler äußerst gefragt, wenn man den Umfang seiner Diskografie in diesen Jahren als Maßstab nimmt (u. a. für die Labels Joe Davis, Continental, Lenox, Alert, Apollo, Abbey, Apex, Gotham, Derby, King und Harlem). Dank McGhees kochend heißer E-Gitarre gehören Jacks drei Singles auf Red Robin zu den härtesten Aufnahmen, die er während dieser wechselhaften Phase machte. 1953 begann Dupree eine regelmäßigere Zusammenarbeit mit King Records, danach mit den RCA-Unterlabels Groove und Vik (1956-57). Der Pianomann machte 1958 eine herausragende LP für Atlantic, 'Blues From The Gutter', und verabschiedete sich bald darauf aus den USA, um nach Europa zu gehen, wo er in den folgenden drei Jahrzehnten erfolgreich aktiv war.

Dupree kehrte schließlich nach New Orleans zurück, um 1990 beim Jazz & Heritage Festival aufzutreten und eine CD für Bullseye Blues aufzunehmen. Im Jahr darauf wurde bei ihm Krebs diagnostiziert, er starb am 21. Januar 1992 in seiner deutschen Wahlheimat Hannover.

Press and Reviews
Press Archive - Champion Jack Dupree - Rocks - Vintage Rock
Press Archive - Champion Jack Dupree - Rocks - Vintage Rock The last of the Barrelhouse piano pounders, Champion Jack ventured into uptempo rock'n'roll on a fairly regular basis in his long career, and now the compilers at this German label have isolated the rockers from the straight blues and boogie to superb effect. There's the obvious, like Shake Baby Shake, and Shim Sham Shimmy, and plenty of similar material that equals those to attract jivers to the dancefloor. Jack always attacked a song with unequalled vibrancy, and this is yet one more excellent collection to add to his legacy.

Press Archive - Champion Jack Dupree - Rocks - AllMusic The entries in Bear Family's ongoing Rocks series spotlight the hardest-rocking moments in an artist's catalog, sometimes offering a counter-narrative to an established narrative. In the case of Champion Jack Dupree, the hard-driving New Orleans blues and R&B pianist, his Rocks provides an introduction to his career that wasn't otherwise available when this was released in 2018.
