Peto Marlow & The Rhythm Kings
Rock & Roll Beat
(US, 1957)

from Boppin’ by the Bayou: More Dynamite
Culled from the #SouthLouisiana tape vault of #JDMiller this track eventually saw release on #AceRecords in 2013.
LP de Buddy Cole, "Hot And Cole", edición Warner Brothers de 1959. Organista de jazz que colaboró con numerosos artistas como Henry Mancini, Rosemay Clooney y otros.
Eddie Cochran is rightly regarded as one of the absolute pioneers of Rock and Roll. His influence on music is immense, as is his influence on fashion – see attached photo for a blueprint of the 80s PopStar. Less widely celebrated are the equally huge talents of Sharon Sheeley
Louis Armstrong with Sy Oliver & His Orchestra
La vie en rose
(US, 1950)
https://t.co/JhycR9fkUK
One of seven versions of #EdithPiaf’s signature tune that charted in the US in 1950.

(US, Mar 1956)

from the album, Elvis Presley
One of four tracks included on Presley’s debut that were recorded as early as 1954. #ScottyMoore’s guitar playing on this is superb.

Music for January: Winter songs - Could have gone with Ella or Louis, Etta or Frank, or even Bob Dylan but Billie always nails it’s for me. Stormy Weather https://t.co/sqErCT1bBb via @YouTube@DamianJHarvey@nealzetterpoet@5Tunesaday
Paul Chambers Quartet
Chamber Mates
(US, Oct 1957)
https://t.co/WMCwY9Qhd1
from the album, Bass On Top
For me — on an album full of standards — this closing, original piece is its strongest track. It’s released at the end of the month as part of #BlueNote’s Tone Poet series.
Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown
Lullaby of Birdland
(US, Dec 1954)
https://t.co/oDPirhDhzc
from the album, Sarah Vaughan
Their only collaboration was this album. Vaughan rated it as her favourite of a storied career.
