Combo

From out of a rotted tomb crawls the full score for the “film” Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)!

Combo CAM presents a GENUIN CD full of rarities: music from all over the world, from Peru to Sephardic Spain, and from Frescobaldi to Purcell.

Doggett learned piano at the age of 8, and made his debut in Jimmy Gorham's Orchestra in 1935. In 1938, he formed his own band, which toured with future conductor Lucky Millinder, who took over in 1940 as Millinder's Band. Bill Doggett worked as a pianist-arranger for the vocal group Ink Spots (1942-1944), then worked as a freelance musician, writing arrangements for Count Basie and Lionel Hampton. Between 1944 and 1946, he recorded with Jimmy Rushing, Lucky Thompson and Don Byas, and the following year replaced Wild Bill Davis in Louis Jordan's lineup (from 1947 to 1949). From 1950, Doggett played mainly organ. After leaving Jordan's lineup, he accompanied Ella Fitzgerald (1951), and set up a rhythm'n'blues band with which he achieved considerable success. His hit "Honky Tonk" (1956) was one of the highest post-war record sales (more than two million copies). Doggett played until the 80s with these small rhythm'n'blues bands that were still so successful with the public during European jazz festivals.

Innovative guitarist, visionary band leader, and singular composer John Scofield has been on a serious roll of late. Scofield’s 2015 release, Past Present, earned the New York native not one, but two Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Instrumental Album and Best Improvised Jazz Solo. Scofield followed Past Present with the eclectic Country For Old Men with the Grammy gods granting him the gilded gramophone trophies for Best Jazz Instrumental Album of 2016 and Best Improvised Jazz Solo (“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”).
