Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown - "Depression Blues"

Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (April 18, 1924 — September 10, 2005) was an American musician from Louisiana and Texas. He is best known for his work as a blues musician, but embraced other styles of music, having "spent his career fighting purism by synthesizing old blues,country, jazz, Cajun music and R&B styles" His work also encompasses rock and roll, rock music, folk, electric blues, and Texas blues.
"Depression Blues" was the flip side of the 1951 instrumental "Okie Dokie Stomp".

Cannonball Adderley Orchestra - "African Waltz"

Dad loved Cannonball Adderly's jazz. This is the title track from his 1961 album, "African Waltz," on Riverside Records.
This song was written by Galt MacDermot and it earned him a Grammy Award. MacDermot is probably best known for his music for the musical, HAIR.
Some of the players on this song include, Percussion – Michael Olatunji
Trombone – Arnett Sparrow, George MatthewsTrumpet – Joe Newman

Boots Brown And His Blockbusters - "Juicy"

Boots Brown cut this knockoff of Bill Justis' "Raunchy" called "Juicy" in 1958. It's just similar enough to have the hit potential without blatantly plagiarizing the original. The A side is a "Tequila" ripoff called "Cerveza," which I will also post at some point in the future. If you like twangy guitars and sax, then you will dig this.

Reader snakeboy pondered if this might have been Boots Randolph and Chet Atkins. Looking into it, I found that Boots Brown was a pseudonym used by West Coast jazz trumpetist Shorty Rogers. He played with his backing band the Blockbusters which included the likes of Barney Kessel, Bill Pittman and Milton Norman on guitar, Red Callender on bass, Shelly Manne on drums and Larry Bunker on percussion. On this single the band featured Bud Shank, Jimmy Rowles and Mel Lewis. "Cerveza" went to number 23 in the U.S. charts in 1958.
