Sexta Básica by Yerblues: The Chess History


"Há um ano atrás, quando eu estava em fase de “pesquisa” para a montagem da série Yerblues Jukebox, me deparei no E-mule, com este pequeno tesouro, The Chess Story 1947-1975, uma caixa contendo treze discos traçando uma discografia em ordem cronológica que representa com bastante dignidade a história deste selo que, juntamente com a Atlantic Records, foi um dos dois grandes repositórios da cultura/música negra praticada naqueles anos de segregação inclusive cultural. Fiquei embasbacado com aquilo, já que nunca imaginava que ia ter acesso a material de tão fina procedência. Na época, minha banda larga era de 200 kbps, então deve dar pra imaginar a eternidade que levou pra eu ter essa preciosidade em mãos/HD. Toda a espera valeu a pena, porque, embora o carro-chefe da Chess sempre tenha sido o blues e o r&b, o que a gente ouve nesse box vai muito além. Tem soul, jazz, gospel, gumbo, doo-wop e, claro, tem rock & roll. Aliás, falando em rock, a Chess briga com a Sun Records pelo título de qual selo foi mais importante para o estabelecimento e perpetuação do rock como parte indestacável da vida cultural norte-americana (da cultura ocidental, numa visão mais abrangente). A Sun leva “alguma” vantagem (especialmente no aspecto financeiro e de penetração do rock junto ao público branco), com Elvis, Jerry Lee, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins e Johnny Cash na linha de frente. Mas um selo que tem em seu cast Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Johnnie Johnson, Bo Diddley e, acima de todos, Chuck Berry, não pode ficar muito atrás; melhor dizendo não pode ficar atrás de ninguém!

Então, o Edson Berlotas Man postou o ótimo Cadillac Records no blog Gravetos & Berlotas, filme que conta um pouco da história do selo (alijando, sem muita explicação o Phil Chess da jogada), depois o Celsão postou aqui a trilha sonora do filme ... e eu pensei: pô, muito legais as postagens, mas... e a coisa real? Porque sempre que se conta um conto, perde-se um ponto (alguma coisa assim... hehe). Enfim, achei que seria válido mostrar o verdadeiro porquê de todo esse auê em torno da Chess. Tenho a certeza de que quando vocês ouvirem, vão chegar à mesma conclusão que eu: todo esse auê ainda é pouco!

O
Seres da Noite, num serviço público de educação sobre a História do Rock, orgulhosamente começa a partilhar com vocês esses 13 litros de veneno puríssimo. Não percam." Yerblues.
