I've never had trouble just copying and pasting video URL into the body of the post. As to the question of "early rock n roll" maybe Ike got it right (from Wiki): In a later interview, however, Ike Turner offered this comment: "I don't think that 'Rocket 88' is rock 'n' roll. I think that 'Rocket 88' is R&B, but I think 'Rocket 88' is the cause of rock and roll existing"

👍- as LP reissue SAVOY JAZZ SJC (MG 12121) from 1985 on my shelf ...

Last night and again now:

March 4 Ricky Ford - 1954

I never quite understood why Rocket 88 is considered early rock and roll. To my ears it sounds fairly squarely R&B. I guess the lyrics are about driving around getting teenage kicks.

I saw Palmer last year at Ronnie's and he was really good. Off to the Vortex this evening in Dalston to watch Florian Albenz featuring Greg Osby.

👍

Thanks !

Two excellent finds!

Jason Palmer “Rhyme and Reason” Giant Step Arts 2 cd set, cd 1 with Mark Turner, Matt Brewer and Kendrick Scott

Ts find in unplayed mint condition. These are the Teldec reference recordings ! excellent !

I'm thinking about seeing Nick Goumas and Jason Palmer at Arthur's House of Jazz in Methuen Thursday night, but I just saw them at The Press Room a few months ago. Plus, no one seems able to go to this one, so I'd have to go solo.

💗 👍

Beethoven, Ts find, found another better copy

Jimmy Glass - Valencia (España) Winter Festival Rale Milic Trio Rale Milic: Guitar Ugonna Okegwo: bass E.J. Strickland: Drums Featuring: Albert sanz: Piano

Miles Davis “Live/Evil” Sony SRCS 9739-40 2 cd set, disc 2 One of the early recording in my collecting history, bought when first released as a 2 LP set more than 50 years ago, and has been a part of my listening world since. Love this music and it sounds so good on the system this morning!

Starting off with Billy Ver Planck Orchestra “Jazz for Playgirls” Savoy/Denon cd.

Flaga = Craig Taborn, Christian McBride and Tyshawn Sorey

March 4 Jan Garbarek - 1947

Lots of "sub-combinations" for sure! Some of the albums I've listened to are Barbieri/Jensen. You're probably right about the HoF. There are so many overlooked artists anyway, it doesn't really matter. I forgot about "Steppin' Out" - VERY 'Garage'!

IIRC based on a play by A.W. Pinero which I read in grad school.
