Die Sozialwissenschaftliche Erforschung Ostafrikas 1954–1963

Chronological development of popular music from 1960 to 1997, the impact of social change on the text and style of music. Immerse yourself in a nostalgic trip, remember how it was different before. For the older generation it - a memory, a wonderful meeting with the youth and for the young - a unique opportunity to hear music that is virtually nowhere is not sound.

Mavis Rivers meets Shorty Rogers - and the result is a hell of a swinging session that may well be the greatest record ever from this overlooked vocalist! Shorty brings a groove into play right from the start - one that pushes Rivers past her sometimes-trilling style, and into a mode that's rock-solid and soulful all the way through - very much in the same spirit that Marty Paich or Oliver Nelson might bring to their own great arrangements for a singer. Mavis has this way of keeping up with the groove while still being really expressive, especially in her vocal range - in that way that was the rising challenge of the 60s that only a handful of vocalists could do this well - very hip, mod, and adult.
