Jimmy Rogers

JSP, one of the U.K.'s most active historical reissue labels, presents an outstanding postwar Chicago blues anthology packed with essential recordings made between 1947 and 1955 by Sunnyland Slim & His Pals.

Blues / Rhythm and Blues / Chicago Blues / Harmonica Blues

When it comes to post war blues harmonica players Little Walter and Big Walter Horton tower above just about all the others. This excellent set features a selection of recordings that he made under his own name as well as many of the sides where he contributed his stellar harmonica work as a sideman. These include accompaniments to Willie Nix, Johnny Shines, Joe Hill Louis, Tampa Red, Arbee Stidham, Sunnyland Slim and Jimmy Rogers. It includes his recording with Jimmy DeBerry of Easy which is one of the greatest harmonica solos of all time.

Avid Jazz here presents four classic Shorty Rogers albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered double CD. "The Big Shorty Rogers Express" (1956) - here we find the famed arranger and trumpeter Shorty Rogers moving away from the small group format and into the big band field. Shorty and his fellow musicians Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Jimmy Giuffre, Marty Paich to name but a few, bring a fresh West Coast spirit to the traditional big band swing ethic!
"Shorty Rogers & His Giants" 1953 - Shorty is once again joined by many fine players including Milt Bernhart on trombone, Hampton Hawes on piano, John Grass on French horn alongside stalwarts Art Pepper, Jimmy Giuffre, and Shelly Manne for a combination of swing and small group numbers…
