I know very little about the origin of today's little gem. Billy Wright is more of a name I associate with Wolverhampton Wanderers than dancefloor jazz. And I ain't here to write about that shower! (Sorry any Black Country visitors to my blog)
He had a long career and was quite influential in shifting R'n'B into the rock'n'roll in the early 50s. This number 'Summer Love' is a funky, swinging jazz number with a hugely groovy bass. I'm not going to emote anymore - just download and check it yourself.
You may have noticed I am posting at quite a rate, beginner's enthusiasm and all that. I will settle down into a more infrequent rate of posting, so make the most of it. And while I may have a leaning towards disco, funk, jazz & all that - beware, I am going to potter around quite a few musical categories at some point. Music is music, categories are the fetish of the narrow-minded.
Oh, I'll shut up now . . .
Summer Love
