This guy was a jazz drummer. He played with Louis Armstrong, with Jelly Roll Morton, with Cab Calloway. His pop music success was a footnote, but there you have it.Cozy Cole:
• Topsy Part II – An organ based instrumental with a great back beat and decent pre-Bonzo drum solo. When the horns come in after half time we hear what may the ultimate swing-rock fusion hit. Who knows why Part II was top 10, and Part 1 was only top 30, though part I was more jazzy. The follow-up was called… wait for it… Turvy. From the fall of 1958.
