On both fronts

img_0460.JPGimg_0461.JPG

This is a rare record because it has two “front” covers. Two very different approaches to “classical music for people who don’t know anything about classical music.”

Everyone loves the fat man

rr01.jpgrr02.jpg

I saw Antoine “Fats” Domino play at JazzFest in 1990 and have always loved his music. He was a king there at the piano, big rings on his fingers, flashy suit. I think I read he lost everything in the flood. Here’s a sweet single courtesy of Fred.   Great liner notes on this mid- fifties collection and a nice illustration on the cover. Fat’s early classics are all on the Imperial label. This four song e.p. features his eponymous first hit “The Fat Man”.
