May 1, 2024 Record of the Day

“Rock That Beat” might be one of the most unusual albums of all time. Released in 1958, it consists of famous Jazz musicians playing Rock N Roll. These Jazz greats, playing with Boots Brown and his Blockbusters and Dan Drew and His Daredevils, wanted to remain anonymous in fear of being embarrassed. Those “anonymous” Jazz musicians included Shorty Rogers, Gerry Mulligan, and J.J. Johnson among others. Released on Groove Records, a copy of “Rock That Beat” is now worth up to $100.00.
