      History

      β€œAn American musician from Los Angeles. A vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Paxton's style draws from blues and jazz music before World War II and was influenced by Fats Waller and "Blind" Lemon Jefferson. According to Will Friedwald in The Wall Street Journal, Paxton is "virtually the only music-maker of his generation β€” playing guitar, banjo, piano and violin, among other implements β€” to fully assimilate the blues idiom of the 1920s and '30s, the blues of Bessie Smith and Lonnie Johnson."” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerron_%22Blind_Boy%22_Paxton
