Van On Mose Allison TV Special For BBC 4

Mose Allison: Ever Since I Stole the Blues BBC 2 Friday 29th September at 11.35pm

Mose Allison, white Jazz and Blues legend from the Mississippi Delta, inspired key figures in Rock'n'Roll. As Pete Townsend says in the film:
‘Without Mose I wouldn’t have written My Generation’. The film also features Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Frank Black, Loudon Wainwright, Ben Sidran, Keb Mo’ and Georgie Fame.

The film also contains exclusive performances of Mose classics by Van Morrison and Loudon Wainwright along with The Who’s barnstorming take on Mose’s Young Man Blues.

"If you're interested in jazz, blues or rock - especially British rock -
then you really need to hear Mose Allison", claims director Paul Bernays.
His film is an affectionate portrait of the jazz-blues legend, taking in
performances and interviews with Mose and such high-profile admirers as Van
Morrison and Elvis Costello.
