Great British Skiffle - volume 3
|
|
Volume 3 of “Skiffle - Just about as good as it gets!” is a superb third chapter in a unique collection covering the finest recordings in this uniquely British genre!
To quote Dave Travis, the compiler, “I think I can safely say that it has been so very enjoyable to be able to put together another fine collection of British Skiffle, the like of which we surely will never hear again. A prominent British Rock ‘n’ Roll magazine recently pondered the question as to how was it possible that the standard of Volume 2 was every bit as good as Volume 1? The answer, of course, is that despite the panning skiffle often received in the 1950’s press, an extraordinary quantity of fine music was laid down at the time and thankfully has survived. So rest assured this Volume 3 of British Skiffle is bang up to standard. Sit back, remember and enjoy…”

Great Rock ‘n Roll Intrumentals - volume 3
|
|
A new genre in the “Just about as good as it gets!” series, this 2CD highlights the many great Rock ‘n’ Roll instrumentals which emerged from the U.S. along with the vocal hits
The Instrumental has always been popular and thrived especially with the advent of the cylinder player and the Victrola. With the coming of jazz on record, that popularity soared, as, for the 1st time, black people had dance music that they could relate too. The coming of swing in the 1930’s took instrumental music to another level again. Not only were white and black teenagers buying records, as well as going out dancing, the bands were being received with fanatic adulation at their stage shows. This huge enthusiasm was contagious and soon spread worldwide, especially to Britain, where local dance and jazz bands soon picked up on what the Americans were doing. After World War II, many of the big swing bands had to cut down their personnel, as costs were too high, but those smaller combos churned out a stream of instrumental records, really hitting the heights with the coming of rock ‘n’ roll. Aside from the jazzmen, the early days of rhythm & blues played a large part in popularising instrumental music, as will be seen wandering through this fascinating collection.
