The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 252

Legends Mix

In the five years I do this show, I've always emphasized the importance of the music that I play for all of today's popular music. In today's show comes the man who had one of the most influential hits in the making of Rock 'n Roll, but he himself didn't survive the new tastes of the general audience.

But also, twenty years before that hit, one of the greatest trumpeters ever on this planet, defining the jazz improvisation solo, a musical highlight that our nowadays ears are accustomed to, but in the late twenties that was something completely new.
