Derek Nash and Dominic Ashworth

Rockabilly Bops

(Soho)



Fabled Jazz dreadnoughts turn their hands to instrumental endeavors more plebeian, the product proving both merry and bracing. A host of happy portraits pass the imagination: crew cuts and pony-tails rollicking 'round a Seeburg; two straws in a chocolate malted; switchblade mumblety peg; and steamed-up jalopies parked 'neath stars. Efficient production that performs its proper function, otherwise remaining scarce, aids musical elegance. 

All assembled are first-chair. Too, cognoscenti will savour the one-bloodedness that arrives via brim-tips to Johnny Otis, Stray Cats, and the crackerjack Munsters Theme.

Recommended: "High School Summer," "Jitterbug Jive," "Tears In My Heart," "Rockabilly Bop," "Cool Cats Strut," "Halloween Hop," "Jukebox Rock," "Rock'n'Roll Party," "Country Highway," "Jamming and Jiving," "Happy Hour," "Feeling Bluesy," "Boogie Woogie Brothers"
