What's fucked up with black folks is, you can play this in a 30-sum'n white bar and folks luv it, but do the same in a 30 sum'n black bar......

@oramikleepunk It's about time someone recognized the truth about R&R. It was a term used by a DJ. It wasn't a specific genre. It was "Rhythm" music from as far back as the 20s. Big Joe and a few other blues singers brought the Kansas City sound to the east coast as far back as 1935 or so. The music got its "Rock" in Kansas City, and its "Roll" in the eastern cities where it got wider exposure.

@ShelterDogs See my note above. No actual drum beat on this recording but there's a heavy back beat coming off the piano, especially in the instrumental break. It lends itself to some great 50s style fills too

Years ago I overlayed a 50s style R&B drum track to this. This was indeed ahead of it time and it sure included a backbeat and some

Anyone who tells you Rock and Roll was invented in the 50's is full of it. It didn't just happen. It came up from traditions formed in the earliest years of the 20th century, and you can hear plenty cuts, like this one, that sound like early Rock and Roll, even in the 1920's. The same way Bop didn't just happen with Parker and Gillespie, or Swing with Fletcher Henderson, some music may be revolutionary, but it is always evolutionary.

This is one of the greatest works in the Jazz/Blues idiom. Paul Oliver, I am sure, agrees with me.
