When we went to the Museum of Modern Photography on Michigan Avenue (MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY) in November 2014, we were doing a MICHAEL SCHMELLING photo exhibition entitled YOUR BLUE. The photographer is an American, born in 1973. The introduction said that he went deep into the life of musicians and experienced the creation and performance of blues. Many of his works reflected the life related to blues. The pictures are very good. The Museum has facilities for inquiring about music materials. According to information, Blues, the ancestor of jazz, rock and gospel songs, was originally sung by early American slaves when they expressed their moods. It was full of depression and disharmony, and sounded very melancholy. It was totally different from the music of white society at that time. Blues did not originate in Chicago but were popular in Chicago. In Chicago blues is a way of life, if you want to laugh, it will make you happy, if you want to cry, it will be your sad music. Every summer there is a blues concert in Chicago. We saw Blues singing on the subway and on the street, but unfortunately we didn't go to the bar to experience blues music once. You can search and listen to albums in the exhibition hall. Tickets are donated voluntarily. Don't miss music, especially blues.
