Gaz's Rockin Blues (40th Ann. Special)
Coming on CD is the sixth compilation in the DJ-set series compiled by cult DJ Gay Mayall. The choice of music in this
particular selection contains two fundamental styles of rhythm and blues oriented boogie music that influenced the
world. The post war era of black dance music was driven by R&B that was the inspiration for the rock'n'roll of the
1950's. Here you have a hardcore slice of black rock'n'roll and a side of rockin' early '50s R&B, it's precursor on one
platter. On the next disc you'll hear a bunch of moving, exciting and at times frenzied '50s gospel. The idiom where
most R&B and black rock'n'roll and soul stars learned their art and cut their teeth. Side 4 contains a bunch of Jamaican
tunes to illustrate the role Jamaica's music has played in influencing the style and direction of 'Gaz's Rockin Blues'.
These tracks are drawn from the very earliest days, at the inception of ska in the late '50s when Jamaican artists,
having fallen in love with US R&B, created their own take on it.
