“Take Five” by Dave Brubeck Quartet was recorded 67 years ago today.
Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever.
Before the Madchester explosion would take them into the mainstream, Happy Mondays were already developing the sound that set them apart from their peers. Performing "Performance" on The Other Side of Midnight with Tony Wilson in 1988, the band showcased an early glimpse of the groove driven style and attitude that would soon make them one of Manchester's most influential acts.
Liverpool's musical legacy ran through much of Cast’s songwriting, and “Sandstorm” was no exception. Released on All Change in 1995, the song combined John Power’s melodic instincts with the band's confident guitar sound, helping establish Cast as one of the most successful acts to emerge from the Britpop era.
