	Rogue is correct. Buddy Holly.

	No rap in the fifties? Someone hasn't ever listened to Woody Guthrie . . . And people say that genres make sense. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough Without having ever felt sorry for itself.

	An update! 1957: Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners Monk has got to be one of the most interesting musical figures of the 20th Century. Profoundly influential, and intrinsically eccentric, Thelonious Sphere Monk was shunned at his prime and embraced long after he had made the best music of his career. The weird hats, the odd scales, the bogus drug conviction all lead to Monk being percieved as an outsider to 20th Century Music. But, by god, he made some great music, and this is a great album. The title track is swirling, off-kilter and horrendously difficult (there was not one complete take after 25 attempts). It also happens to be one of my favourite peices of Jazz. Also featured here are two touching and tender tracks, "Pannonica", and "I Surrender Dear". Also present on the recording is a young Sonny Rollins, who would go on to be a largely influential tenor sax player; famous drummer Max Roach; and bassist Paul Chambers, who amongst other things ends up playing bass on Davis' "Kind of Blue". Tracklisting: 01. Brilliant Corners 02. Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are 03. Pannonica 04. I Surrender Dear 05. Bemsha Swing 1957: Sabu - Palo Congo I have never heard of this artist or this album, or any of the songs on it. Tracklisting: 01. El Cumbanchero 02. Billumba-Palo Congo 03. Choferito-Plena 04. Asabache 05. Simba 06. Rhapsodia Del Maravilloso 07. Aggo Elegua 08. Tribilin Cantore 1957: Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool This is a hugely influential album. While the heroes of the Be-Bop era were trying to squeeze as many notes as possible into the smallest possible time-frame, Davis was laying it out, smooth as hell on this album. It's not often that an album invents a new genre, but this is one of the handful that we'll see on this list. Cool Jazz was invented here; the vibrato-less trumpet sound (also used with great effect by Chet Baker) was popularised here; and the muted, thoughtful trumpet solo, now so cliched, was pioneered here. Thanks to this album, I can go into a music shop and ask for a "Miles Davis trumpet mute". While Miles wouldn't reach perfection in this genre until another album that we'll see later (no prizes for guessing!) this is still an amazing attempt. Check it out. It's . . . cool. Tracklisting: 01. Move 02. Jeru 03. Moon Dreams 04. Venus De Milo 05. Budo 06. Deception 07. God Child 08. Boplicity 09. Rocker 10. Israel 11. Rouge 12. Darn That Dream Next time, two artists I've never heard of, and one hugely influential early Rocker.

	It would be really interesting to time-travel to 1957 or so to hear Birth Of The Cool and the fresh, ground-breaking style it presents. My problem is I can only think of it in a world where I have heard Kind Of Blue first. Anyway, yeah Birth is a classic in its own right. -----signature----- When the sea takes me like my mother's arms I will breathe free as any word of God

	TheBoogieMan posted: 11. Rouge ARGH! Even the musical geniuses mispell my name! I'm finding the track title 'Darn that Dream' ironic considering that Davis would eventually release an album entitled Bitches' Brew . . . I've heard none of these, though the Davis album has been on my list to hear for a while. The Sabu album sounds interesting . . . all percussionists, except for one bass player, allmusic says. Apparently they don't realize that bass players actually are percussionists. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

	I've sampled Monk, and decided he's way beyond me. I'm going to try to find the other two.

	If you find Monk inaccessable, try "Straight, No Chaser". It's a simple jazz blues, and it was my door into his music. Darth_Banal posted: My problem is I can only think of it in a world where I have heard Kind Of Blue first. My problem also. My way into it was to read up and listen up on the music of the time, to set the scene, almost. It's not a patch on Kind of Blue, but it's a revelation from the music of the time. Rogue1-and-a-half posted: The Sabu album sounds interesting . . . all percussionists, except for one bass player, allmusic says. Apparently they don't realize that bass players actually are percussionists. Absolutely. The number of times I've tried to tell my bass students this and they just laugh in my face . . . 1957: Machito - Kenya I have never heard of this artist or album. It's some more Latin-Jazz, by the looks of it. Apparently Cannonball Adderley is a guest on some of the charts, and "Cannonology" appears to be a play on Charlie 'Bird' Parker's "Ornithology", so I'm guessing that's what track he sits in on. Tracklisting: 01. Wild Jungle 02. Congo Mulence 03. Kenya 04. Oyeme 05. Holiday 06. Cannonology 07. Frenzy 08. Blues A La Machito 09. Conversation 10. Tin Tin Deo 11. Minor Rama 12. Tururato 1957: Little Richard - Here's Little Richard Described by the book where I'm getting this list from as "Rock 'n' roll's stem cells", this is one album I really should have heard but haven't. I have heard some tracks, however, and they can only be described as full of insane energy and fun, especially the famous "Tutti Frutti". Little Richard inspired a generation of musicians, and his flamboyant personality strikes me as the prototype for later pop stars such as Prince. It's pleasing to know that by 1957 we are finally really starting to move into Rock and Roll music (although we won't really get to an album that would today be called "Classic Rock" until 1962, in my opinion). Tracklisting: 01. Tutti Fruttti 02. True Fine Mama 03. Can't Believe You Wanna Leave 04. Ready Teddy 05. Baby 06. Slippin' And Slidin' 07. Long Tall Sally 08. Miss Ann 09. Oh Why? 10. Rip It Up 11. Jenny Jenny 12. She's Got It 1958: Tito Puente And His Orchestra - Dance Mania, Vol.1 Another Latin Jazz. It appears the editors of this book like it - I don't. Again, I've never heard of the album or its author. Tracklisting: 01. El Cayuco 02. Complicacion 03. 3-D Mambo 04. Llego Mijan 05. Cuando Te Vea 06. Hong Kong Mambo 07. Mambo Gozon 08. Mi Chiquita Quierre Bembe 09. Varsity Drag 10. Estoy Siempre Junto A Ti 11. Agua Limpia Toda 12. Sacu Tu Mujer Next time, two superb ladies singin' the blues, and an influential early country-twinged folk singer. And as a point of intellectual raspberry-blowing, Rogue, I counted up the list and I've heard 126 or so. AND I'm down on you by a few years.

	I used to have an mp3 of one part of what might've been a suite by Machito with Charlie Parker as guest soloist. It was alright. -----signature----- I had all bases covered. I had the Hulkamaniacs watching DiBiase. I had Virgil in his place.

	The Little Richard album looks fantastic . . . like you, I've heard a lot of his efforts, but not this one in its entirity. Long Tall Sally and Tutti Frutti are two of his most iconic moments and rightfully so. This guy brings the fire, which was beginning to be missed in a lot of other genres around this time . . . to see what I mean, try listening to Pat Boone's covers of Little Richard's songs. It's the fire we're after and this guy just explodes on album. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

	If you want an eye-popping read, try Little Richard's autobiography. Especially the section on Buddy Holly.
