For those of you on the list that has a long memory - you can gather I got into 1950's Jazz - and recently got into Rockabilly. I know Buddy Holly lived in the Village and went to Jazz clubs. I presume to see artists like Monk, Miles, etc. But I wonder if people like Sam Phillips (Sun Records) or even Elvis listened to contemporary (meaning 50's) Jazz? Is there a Rockabilly artist that has Jazz shadings or visa versa? It seems unlikely by reading bios on Elvis - but the thought stuck in the back of my head while reading the Buddy Holly bio. Also the late 50's were an amazing time for music. Sinatra was making great recordings, Elvis & the whole Rockabilly scene including Sun Records of course - and Glenn Gould too. In the 60's it seems that one field of artist could meet another - but maybe socially the music scene in the 50's weren't so expansive...if that's the right word. Anyway it is something I have been thinking about - and would like to hear others comment...if it's even possible! Best, Tosh -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com
