CD ROAD TO ROCK & ROLL..

Popis - ROAD TO ROCK & ROLL..:
'Jitterbug Jive'. 50 scene-setting singles that surfaced in the UK in the lead-up to the Rock & Roll revolution. Inspired by the "prequel" editions of Stuart Colmans "I Shall Be Released" feature, which appeared in leading rock & roll magazine Now Dig This back in January and February 2013, Fantastic Voyage has commissioned a set of three double CDs under the heading of The Road To Rock & Roll. The series aims to highlight the surprisingly large amount of scene-setting American recordings that surfaced in the UK during the two decades that led up to the rock & roll era. The first pairing, Jitterbug Jive, concentrates on the period 1934 to 1952 and features rare material by the likes of Tiny Bradshaw, Lefty Frizzell and Bull Moose Jackson.
Compiled and annotated by music historian and producer Stuart Colman, the three volumes of The Road to Rock & Roll will present trailblazing American jazz, rhythm & blues, hillbilly and pop released in the UK between 1934 and 1955, ahead of the rock & roll explosion. Other artists featured on the first volume, Jitterbug Jive, include Joe Turner, Will Bradley, Hank Williams, Louis Jordan, Red Foley, Lionel Hampton and Louis Prima. The second volume is scheduled for autumn 2013.
