Chance, this magician, I still play hocus-pocus. My memories, such as horns, are three small towers on the scene from my memory. It is also, in this case, a voice and an old disk images that bring me my twenty years. An old jazz record and voice Blue Laws. name, that says nothing to most people, is the one that was, in my opinion, the greatest jazz singer of Argentina. At the time, late 60s, early 70s, she also sang in cafes, in front of an audience more or less restricted Jazz & Pop , Bar On, The gallina embarazada where I saw for the first time, at the dawn of 70s. Images of me returning the singer to a little blonde wig askew, the green gauze dress, but already the sixties an energy and humor flowing. And the voice, a black voice, a voice in dialogue with the piano, improvising, which climbed into a scat hell. A voice that was a real musical instrument, a jazz instrument as Satchmo's trumpet and piano at Duke.

Blue Laws, whose real name is Lucia Bolognini Míguez, was born into a family of bourgeois Argentine August 23, 1912. It was discovered by jazzman Rudy Ayala in 1935 in Mar del Plata. She started professionally in one of the radios of the time, La voz del area (the voice of the air). A time when each had his own radio orchestras tango and jazz.
For over twenty-five years, Blue Laws was the main voice of jazz bands Argentine Dixie Pals , Santa Paula Serenaders , Héctor Lomuto , Roger Santander
... When came the years of rock and twist, the big bands had disappeared, she accompanied herself on piano or sang it with a small group like that accompanies the only record I could get: Jorge Anders (clarinet, sax), Negro González (bass), Santiago Giacobbe (piano) and Nestor Astarita (drums).

On this disc Laws performer with great talent and all his swinging jazz standards, I've Got Rhythm , Misty, Summertime , Body and Soul . The last song, Mood Indigo , reminds me of an anecdote from 1968. Duke Ellington, which was presented in Buenos Aires, and I had, incidentally, the happiness of seeing, was listening to Alicia Lois Duncan. It is said that the great American musician would have exclaimed in the hearing he would never have imagined meeting a "granny blues" with blue eyes to so many miles from Harlem.
Then in 1980 the silence. Blue laws in 68 years, decided to settle in États-Unis. Chicago, Los Angeles et finalement New York. Presque Oubliée in Argentine, dans la patrie elle chanta jusqu'au dernier jour du jazz de sa vie, in février 1999.
Sa voix qu'elle avait laisse mezzo envahir, assombrir joies par les souffrance et les noire de l'âme vit encore dans ce disque uneven. The Blue Lois voix, celle qui n'a jamais cesse of Singing.

Chance, this magician, played me his past. My memory, like puppets, are three little walk on the stage of my memory. It is also, in this case, a voice and an old record I bring the images of my twenties. An old jazz album and the voice of Lois Blue . That name, which today says nothing to most people is that of what was, in my opinion, the greatest jazz singer from Argentina. At the time, so the 60's, early 70's, and sang no more than elsewhere in cafes, in front of an audience more or less restricted. Jazz & Pop , South Bar , The chicken pregnant where I first saw in the early 70's. I returned images of the singer with her blonde wig was a little crooked, green gauze dress, about sixty years, but an energy and overflowing humor. And the voice, a dark voice, a voice that dialogue with the piano, improvising, who climbed in a infernal scat. A voice that was a real musical instrument, a jazz instrument as the trumpet or piano Satchmo Duke.

This album plays with all his talent and his whole swing of jazz standards, I've got rhythm , Misty , Summertime, Body and soul. The last song, Mood Indigo, I remember an anecdote from 1968.
Duke Ellington, which was presented in Buenos Aires, and I had, incidentally, the joy of seeing, went to hear what Alice Lois Duncan. They say that the great American musician would have cried to hear that he had never imagined to find a "Mommy blues" so many miles from Harlem.
And then, in 1980, the silence. Lois Blue, at age 68, had decided to settle in the United States. Chicago, Los Angeles and finally New York. Almost forgotten in Argentina, he sang in the motherland of jazz until the last day of his life in February 1999.
Her mezzo voice that she had left invade, overshadowed by the joys and sufferings of the black soul still lives in this unique album. Blue Lois's voice, which never stopped singing.
