Efraim Trujillo
THE PREACHER MEN
My name is Efraïm Trujillo. I graduated at the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 1994. My perception of the blues at that time was a 12-bar tune in swing feel with three basic cords and the use of many harmonic substitutions and turn-arounds. I would use the blues scale and play various bebop licks. I basically adopted the same jazz approach as within any other bebop tune. It was not until the next century that I realized that I had never seriously played Blues.
Time for research.
