Played Joshua Redman "Walking Shadows" and now playing "Compass." It took me a while but I really like his playing.

K.496 and K.502

One of the reasons why Rocket 88 gets so much attention was an accident. One of the amplifiers blew out and created an unexpected distortion in the bass, which sounded like....Rock and Roll, or at least different than the song that they based it on: Jimmy Liggins' Cadillac Boogie.

Nice haul, @Kevin Bresnahan!

I'm not saying Anita O'Day started Rock and Roll but she recorded Rock and Roll Blues in 1952.

Some of the most emphatic block chords on record 😅!

Dalis Car - The Waking Hour

Yowza! Good stuff. Lenny raises the roof. The Cathedral of Saint-Louis-des-Invalides, where Berlioz premiered the Requiem in 1837. It's also where Bernstein conducted his performance, recorded in 1975.

I think we're long overdue for the last rock (and roll) record.
