Editorial Reviews
Chicago Tribune
"Gritty Chicago blues and rarefied classical chamber...like a match made in heaven...a crowning achievement."
Product Description
For over 15 years now, CORKY SIEGEL’S CHAMBER BLUES has been delighting audiences throughout the U.S. with its unique hybrid of classical chamber music and blues tradition. Blending blues harp and piano with a string quartet and percussion, Chamber Blues is innovative, yet immediately accessible. CORKY SIEGEL’S TRAVELING CHAMBER BLUES SHOW is the first LIVE recording of this extraordinary ensemble.
The CD puts Corky’s creative genius on full display as he and his group refine this new musical genre right in front of their audience’s eyes and ears. It’s a sound renowned writer Studs Turkel describes as "a joyous marriage of classical music and the blues."

Fusing blues and classical,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corky Siegel's Traveling Chamber Blues Show! (Audio CD)
If you like blues and classical, you won't go wrong with this one.If you like one but not the other, it'll take you longer to appreciate this cd. Good tight arrangements. If I remember, I like the two (similar) studio cds a little more, but this cd is still a winner.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Homegrown Hippy Harmonica,
By Arlo Vortex (Third Stone) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corky Siegel's Traveling Chamber Blues Show! (Audio CD)
You gotta really love the harmonica to be happy with this CD. I've tried it twice now, but can't get through it. It's not bad, I just can't get through the harmonica and violin to get to the groove. I'd heard a couple of songs from him before buying this that had a quirky, groovy feel to them, that I thought would take me to the acoustic crossover between buzzland and hometown organic. A rare place to go I can tell you, but neccessary once in a while. Anyway, I'm going to keep looking for the right time to try it again so I can hopefully appreciate it. But until I can find it, my advice is to buy it only if you love the sound of a harmonica.

SEIGAL SCWHALL AS A TEAM, CREATED SOME OF THE MOST DIFFERNTIAL BLUES YOU WOULD EVER HEAR. SOME REALLY GREAT MUSIC.THIS CD AND THE OTHER CDS WITH ORCHRESTERS (SPELLING)?? ARE QUITE DIFFERANT THEN WHAT I WAS ACUSTOMMED TO. AS A TEAM SEIGAL/SCHWALL PRODUCED AN ALBULM WITH THE PHILLDELPHIA PHILHARMONIC ORCHRESTER IN THE 70'S THAT WAS PRIME. THESE WITH SCHWALL FALL SHORT. I ACTUALY PICTURED MUSELF WATCHING CARTOONS AS I LISTENED TO THEM
