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

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

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)

Their only collaboration was this album. Vaughan rated it as her favourite of a storied career.
