Maxwell Street Blues

Chicago's venerable Maxwell Street, and the neighborhood market located there, for decades offered local performers a place to forge the sound that became known as "Chicago blues." Linda Williams and Raul Zaritsky's great documentary chronicle of the now-vanished blues mecca features such artists as Jim Brewer, John Henry Davis, Arvella Gray, Coot Venson, and many more. 56 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; interviews; photo gallery.
