Title:
A Proper Introduction To Rosco Gordon: No More Doggin'
Info: Rosco Gordon was best known for being one of the progenitors of a slightly shambolic loping style of piano shuffle called "Rosco's Rhythm." The basic elements of this sound were further developed after Jamaican musicians got hold of 45's Gordon recorded in the early 50's not available to Jamaicans until 1959 and created ska which took its name for the sound of this particular shuffle as it sounded being played on an electric guitar (ska-ska-ska). He's now cited by many as being the single biggest influence on the creation of ska. This Proper Introduction takes a look at how his style developed and includes the tracks recorded with the Beale Street Singers (a group that feature BB King & Bobby Bland) as well as his hits for the Sun label from 1952-53.
