To us, musically, this period represents a lot of really great Jazz music, traditional jazz and swing-jazz. Also, piano jazz and blues, including the great works of George Gershwin. The prohibition era, the Charleston and Rag / Ragtime is also something we'd put into this category, as would "Stride" jazz and piano music for Silent Movies.
Conveying a feeling of desolation and loss, this blues music is the epitome of “a good man feeling down.” Slide resonator guitar plays and a lamenting voice sings over a bluesy, acoustic guitar and simple kick drum. The wordless vocals are searching, giving the track a touch of Gospel – and a sliver of hope. Suitable for poignant moments in dramas and documentaries. Desolation / Deep Blues / Poignant music. Available in several different mixes/version with or without the vocals and layers. [Tempo: Slow / 81 BPM]
