Dating back to the early 50s, Rockabilly blended country, hillbilly, jump blues and western swing to form one of the earliest styles of rock music. Rockabilly launched the careers of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly with its raunchy blues riffs, uptown Western swing licks, and foot-tapping boogie patterns, all of which you’ll get plenty of here in this Rock, Billy & Boogie Guidebook from Walter Broes. Band leader, singer/songwriter and guitarist in the Belgium’s most popular roots rock band, The Seatsniffers, Walter recorded seven albums and toured all over Europe for 15+ years with the band. A self-professed guitar geek, Walter has a deep love for American Roots music styles and is a passionate educator. We’re thrilled to welcome Walter to the family with his first TrueFire course.

This excellent three-disc set contains 64 great songs performed by Dizzy Gillespie and company in varied settings. Odyssey: 1945-1952 chronicles the master trumpeter in small groups, big bands, a session with strings, and also some blues. Among the rare treats on the collection are a full-fledged Gillespie big band score "Interlude (A Night in Tunisia)," performed here with the Boyd Raeburn Orchestra, where Gillespie worked for a couple of weeks at a time in both 1944 and 1945. The inimitable "Groovin' High" is played by the Dizzy Gillespie Sextet of which Charlie Parker, Cozy Cole, and Slam Stewart were members. The song is heard here as a classic bebop contrafact based on the chord progression of "Whispering," which became a million-seller for Paul Whiteman.
