Product Description:
This CD is one of four new releases from Jasmine which present the honking r&b sax blasters from the late 1940s when they fronted the riffing big bands in the mid to late 50s and were making their own records or providing the sax breaks on endless rock and roll records. First up are 26 titles by Willis 'Gator' Jackson, your actual teenage prodigy, in the days before teenagers actually existed. Soon you will also find newly available sets from Buddy Lucas, Sam 'The Man' Taylor and 'Big' Jay McNeely and all of them will rock your socks off. Filled to the rafters with superb songs and massive jukebox hits this honk-tastic sax blasting party kicks off with the two part smash, "Gator Tail" which gave Willis his nickname which he would keep all his life. Some of these tracks were rocking jukeboxes almost 70 years ago and you can bet your bottom dollar they can still fill a dancefloor.
