I listened to Johnny Otis, and Bill Haley and his comets when I was a teenager in Long Beach, California in the 50's and later on Chuck Berry. Who was first is anyone's guess it seems as if they all kind of melted together. I'm still rocking at a young 84.
Oui il a été un des promoteurs de cette musique.Ses introductions à la guitare sont légendaires. Mais il ne faut pas oublier Louis Jordan ou Ruth Brown qui ont été des précurseurs sauf que leurs musique était classée comme Rythm 'N' Blues . Le R'N'Roll des noirs était du R'n'blues , comme Fats Domino , Little Richard , ou même Chuck Berry.
I may have never discovered the late great Chet Baker, if it wasn’t for him being mentioned in a song by Van Morrison. Give a listen to ‘Almost Blue’ by Chet Baker. 🌝
the best pure drum sound and swing feel ever, I mean that's hyperbolic but I think it might be true. Let alone the completely original phrasing and language that he invented. On a technical note, the way his arms are thoroughly relaxed, and the wrists whip the stick down into the center of the drum, creating the most beautiful full sound and yet powerful attack, is such a clinic. And he plays every note and accent in the most efficient way to shape the phrase for maximum swing feel, as if he has strings or magnets pulling the sticks down at the exact right moment with the exact right amount of force every time. I know this is called "feel," but it's still amazing! lol
