... Sure Fantastic & Legendary piano-player, but where to find a record of her ?...
She played accompanied with the fabulous guitarists Leo Blevins (MD & The Esquires, 1946), Ulysses Liningston, John Collins (in 1951), and who was this Ralph Williams (1947-1948) of her "Torrid Trio ?...
This is contemporary music, talented music, and there is no record anywhere !!!
I remember her when I was a kid and she was on Ed Sullivan a few times. She was nothing short of awesome, Being a white kid, I always leaned to black music. I thought it was hot and really made you want to get up and dance. Bo Diddley was by far the best rocker of the 50's. Most of the 45's in my small collection were black artists. Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Bo. Bill Haley was the best white rocker!
Wonderful Martha Davis God bless and R.I.P., died only aged 43 in 1960. Her husband was Calvin Ponder who later played with Earl Hines. Ponder died ten years after his wife.
lol! I'm not sure how effective a method that is versus say, copious practice. Is there any scientific data on infanticide's effect on piano dexterity?
extensive research in northern russia has shown that the number of daily killed infants is actually inversely prportional to piano dexterity, so i have stopped. lucky me : /
Holy Crapoli ! After all the thousands of hours I've spent practicing and hear Martha Davis toss off that amazing, rockin' crystal clear technique at warp-speed -- and all with a big smile on her face .......... just kill me now!
I often wonder why singers are regarded as THE STARS. I am a reasonable singer and have earned money as a vocalist. If I could sing as good as this woman plays the piano, I would be top of the bill at Las Vegas. Instrumentalists are the real musicians. Comparing singers to instrumentalists is like comparing a blacksmith to a watchmaker. Martha....you are GREAT!!!!!
there are two great pianist by the name of Martha as far as i know..one of em is the jazz pianist Martha Davis and the other one is the classical pianist,Martha Argerich
Wow. Her command of the instrument seems effortless. Her timing and attack is amazing and then to keep that groove while mugging for the camera .... superb!
Spontaneous combustion!
