Search - Johnny's Three Blazers Moore :: Be Cool: The Modern and Dolphin Sessions 1952-1954

Exquisite, early 50s west coast `cool blues' from one of the genre's most cherished acts. Johnny Moore's Three Blazers survived the late 1940s defection of their frontman, Charles Brown, to continue well into the next decade with the same musical sound and a variety of vocalists. This package features three of the best; Mari "Mauri" Jones, Frankie Ervin and "Lex" Nelson Alexander, along with Blazers musical stalwarts Oscar Moore and Eddie Williams. Repertoire here is drawn, wherever possible, from original Modern and Dolphin tapes and acetates, and includes many previously unissued recordings and/or takes. Virtually none of this repertoire has been reissued in the CD era - and the sound quality is astounding. A long overdue follow-up to Ace's first - and equally recommended - Three Blazers CD, "Drifting And Dreaming".
