Tommy Young

Young and charming Joanie Sommers was still a teenager when she signed for Warner Bros Records. It was 1959, the company was newly-formed and Joanie was barely 19, but she emerged, in the words of herrecord company, as the greatest singing discovery in the last fifteen years. Her swinging debut albumPositively the Most!included a brace of standards that she wrapped up in winning style, and it led her to start out on the road to singing stardom. The following years brought a remarkable series of equally successful ventures, among them a number of singles and several LPs, including two excellent jazz-oriented albums, The Voice of the Sixties! and For Those Who Think Young, both recorded in 1961.

Young Black Teenagers were young, arguably teenagers, but obviously not black. It might seem odd, if not for the fact they had the support of Carlton Ridenour, the man known to the rap world as Chuck D. YBT were signed to S.O.U.L. Records, a label started by Bomb Squad producer Hank Shocklee. The group were meant to be a statement to their love of the music, but everyone saw them as a bunch of pranksters, especially when their first single was "Nobody Knows Kelli", a song about the Christina Applegate character that was on the television show "Married With Children". Those within the group's inner circle knew what they were trying to do, many others were confused as to why a bunch of caucasians (and one Puerto Rican) would call themselves black, especially at the height of Afrocentricity in rap music. It was a social and political statement, and no one quite got it, preferring groups like them to perform sounds about getting drunk and eating punani.

"Leapin' and Lopin’" was jazz pianist Sonny Clark's Blue Note release. The record was Clark's last as a leader and one of his final albums before his premature death. This album is considered an ultimate recording by the hard bop enthusiast, one that continues to be influential in mainstream jazz.
