| Blues pianists were every bit as inventive as
the guitarists they often worked with. An expressive instrument for expressive
instrumental and vocal blues, the piano was a given in bars, clubs and
work camps that were the blues' main venues. Often doubly accomplished
as ragtime and jazz pianists, the artists of this form were superbly inventive.
The piano- guitar duet was among the most widespread and exciting of blues
accompaniments.
