MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH
A R&B ON SHOW #4477
Johnny Moore's Three Blazers
This week's "Juke In The Back" is dedicated to one of the true unsung
heroes of 1940s and '50s rhythm & blues, Johnny Moore's Three Blazers.
The group is mostly remembered as the springboard for vocalist/pianist
Charles Brown and today they are generally only recognized for their
1946 smash, "Driftin' Blues." However, back in the late 1940s, The Three
Blazers scored R&B hit after hit. Between Johnny Moore's influential guitar
licks and Charles Brown's tasty piano, The Three Blazers were at the top of
their genre. However, their sound fell out of favor as soon as the blues
shouters and jump blues combos took over, setting the stage for the coming
rock n' roll explosion. Their first records were made for the tiny Atlas
label in 1944 and featured an uncredited Frankie Laine on vocals. They then
backed up Ivory Joe Hunter in 1945, before Johnny Moore's Three Blazers hit
the bigtime in 1946. Matt The Cat will cover Johnny Moore's years with Charles
Brown as well as those following Brown's departure. This week's
"Juke In The Back" is the definitive look at Johnny Moore's Three Blazers,
vintage R&B icons.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Melancholy Madeline - Oscar Moore w/ The Three Blazers - Atlas 1944
3. Blues At Sunrise - Ivory Joe Hunter w/ Johnny Moore's 3 Blazers - Exclusive 1945
4. Driftin' Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Philo 1946
5. Sunny Road - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1946
6. So Long - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Modern 1946
7. New Orleans Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1947
8. Changeable Woman Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1947
9. Groovy Movie Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1948
10. Jilted Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1948
11. More Than You Know - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Modern 1948
12. Lonesome Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1948
13. GREAT 78 - Johnny Ace's Last Letter - Johnny Moore's Blazers - Hollywood 1955
14. Where Can I Find My Baby - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Exclusive 1949
15. Walkin' Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - RCA Victor 1949
16. Dragnet Blues - Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Modern 1953
17. After Hours - Erskine Hawkins - Bluebird 1946
Another commendable tribute to another R&B great Matt and
there will be more to come I am sure! If you
have any requests or comments or would just like to send a hello
to Matt the Cat. You can reach him at:

ROCK-IT RADIO FLASHBACK - DAVE JUSTICE & RADIOACTIVE
GOLD SHOW IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4478
Unless you were listening to Rock-it Radio back in 2000. Chances are

#602. It features Rock-it Radio DJ Dave Justice and the RadioActivE
Gold Show and a special interview and feature with Bob Keane founder
of Del Fi Records. Much of the Del Fi music is featured and the late

AL 'COOL DADDY' SMITH WITH PART II A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO
EARL BOSTIC AND HIS SAX ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4479
This show concludes my tribute to one of the greatest alto sax players
who ever lived, Earl Bostic. He influenced such Jazz greats as
John Coltrane and Charlie Parker but is best known not for Jazz
but for his pioneering of sax dominated R&B in the 1940s and
early 1950s and even more so for his sax dominated renderings
of pop songs from the 1950s. Renderings that are very close to
if not actually Rock and Roll. Most of these tunes were recorded
on the King record label out of Cincinnati Ohio.
He recorded more than 400 sides for King and sold millions of these
sides both as singles and albums over the course of some 15 years before
his unfortunate death at the relative young age of 52 of a heart attack.
He is deserving of more respect and awareness amongst the listening public.
Hopefully these two shows will help in this regard.
The play list is as follows:
1. Blip Boogie-Earl Bostic 1949
2. From Midnight To Dawn-Earl Bostic 1949
3. April Showers-Earl Bostic 1959
4. Hildegarde-Earl Bostic 1959
5. Song Of India-Earl Bostic 1959
6. Harlem Nocturne-Earl Bostic 1956
7. Temptation-Earl Bostic 1956
8. Sugar Hill-Earl Bostic 1949
9. Choppin' It Down-Earl Bostic 1949
10. Sleep-Earl Bostic 1956
11. Cherokee-Earl Bostic 1956
12. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes-Earl Bostic 1956
13. No Name Blues-Earl Bostic 1949
14. Way Down-Earl Bostic 1950
15. Twilight Time-Earl Bostic 1958
16. Stairway To The Stars-Earl Bostic 1958

Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder
Remember, if the show
that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of
radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a
high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And
currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it
Radio. So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off
the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a show will at least last 16
to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.
============================================
