Buddy Johnson (with sis Ella on the mic) “Walkin” Mercury Records (1957) A great swingin’ record with big band, honkin’ horns and smokin’ vocals melding R&B and blues into early Rock n’ Roll! Art design by Darrill Connelly. Woodrow Wilson “Buddy” Johnson (January 10, 1915 – February 9, 1977). Nice review of the album with download here at the BeBop Wino blog.

Pete Jolly and His Trio (w/Buddy Clark, Bass and Art Mardigan, Drums) RCA Victor Records (1955) I picked up a bunch of nice jazz 45s with fun sleeves recently. This has a nice 50’s beatnik quality to it and that cool line drawing style that David Stone Martin and Jim Flora made famous. This one done by Romano Ross.
