The blues grew up in the Mississippi Delta just upriver frm New Orleans, the birthplace f jazz．Blues and jazz have always influenced each ther, and they still influence each ther in many ways tday．Unlike jazz, the blues didn’t spread ut quickly frm the Suth t the Midwest until the 1930s and 1940s．When the Delta blues made their way up the Mississippi t urban areas, the music develped int electrified Chicag blues, ther reginal blues styles, and varius jazz­blues hybrids．Abut ten years later, the blues gave birth t rhythms(节奏) ‘n’ blues and rck ‘n’ rll．
N single persn invented the blues, but many peple said they had discvered different styles f the blues．Fr example, a bandleader, W．C．Handy insisted that the blues was first shwn t him in 1903 by a street guitarist at a train statin in Tutwiler, Mississippi．
During the middle t late 1800s, the Deep Suth was hme t hundreds f imprtant bluesmen wh helped t shape the music．Unfrtunately, much f this riginal music fllwed these sharecrppers t their graves．But the music f these earliest blues pineers can still be heard in the recrdings f 1920s and 1930s frm Mississippi, Luisiana, Texas, Gergia and ther Suthern states．
