Music With The Big Beat / Blue Mist

This CD is one of four new releases from Jasmine which present the honking r&b sax blasters from the late 1940s when they fronted the riffing bands of the mid to late 50s and were making their own records or providing the sax breaks on endless rock and roll records. Following on from Willis 'Gator Tail' Jackson comes these 28 slices of frantic sax blasting by the one and only Sam 'The Man' Taylor. As with 'Gator Tail', Sam 'The Man' had the ability to rock your socks off and one listen to great tracks like the opener, "Cloudburst" will certainly leave you barefoot and fancy free. Includes the LPs "Music With The Big Beat" and "Blue Mist" in their entirety along with four bonus tracks with Claude Cloud & His Thunderclaps. Keep an eye out for upcoming sax workouts from Buddy Lucas and Big Jay McNeely.
