A Profoundly Strange Snippet of Forgotten Rock History | Performance Ask Mick Jagger to put on his dream concert these days, and he’ll probably hire Martin Scorsese. Forty-seven years ago, he could do even better: He put the Rolling Stones, the Who and a Beatle on the same stage and made a movie. Unfortunately, the result was a trippy train wreck — and it ended so badly for the Rolling Stones that everyone forgot about it for 20 years. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was, in its peculiar ’60s way, the equivalent of giving Spotify the middle finger today. Performers wandered across the stage, rock legends oddly diminished by the offhandedness of the increasingly long night. Cut to a big top draped over a BBC soundstage, a sleepy, drugged-up invited audience draped in yellow capes, and the occasional clown and acrobat tumbling across a makeshift ring. Watching the 1968 footage today — restored after the Stones binned it, and left undiscovered until 1989 — some of the performances flicker as weird gems or dire omens. In a way, he had.
4 Jazz Greats: Forrest, Hartmann, Charles, Sintara Today, I am pleased to share a special contribution by G. Bruce Boyer, a gentleman of many talents. Formerly the men’s fashion editor for Town & Country, Esquire, and GQ, Mr. For more about Jazz, please also see our post on 30 Jazz Albums You Must Have Listened To. Jimmy Forrest There are two things you have to understand. And second – and I really do hate to use a much over-used word here, except that it really applies – is that the iconic song of all three genres of music was the same: the bluesy, driving, sensual, and urbane Night Train. The aggregation of talented sax players at mid-century was staggering. And after them, but still in the ‘50s, came Zoot Sims and Eddie Harris, and the marvelous school of “ honkers and shouters” like Earl Bostic (whose favorite accompanying instrument was a vibraphone), Sil Austin, and Red Prysock who were part Bop, Part Rock, and part swing, and the infinitely creative and complex John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Sonny Stitt. Most Much! Discography
Anne Briggs Early life[edit] Briggs was born in Toton, Beeston, Nottinghamshire, on 29 September 1944.[1] Her mother died of tuberculosis when she was young. Her father, Albert, was severely injured in World War II and she was raised by her Aunt Hilda and Uncle Bill in Toton, who also brought up Hilda's youngest sister, Beryl, and their own daughter Betty.

Sharon Tandy Sharon Tandy (born Sharon Finkelstein; 18 September 1943 – 21 March 2015)[1] was a South African singer who achieved some success in the United Kingdom in the 1960s as part of the blue-eyed soul and psychedelic movements. In 1966, she recorded some songs at Stax studios, a rarity for a white singer. She also had several chart hits in South Africa in the 1970s. 1960s[edit] Later career[edit] As half of various duets, Tandy scored three South African Top Ten hits between 1972 and 1978. After her return to the UK, nostalgic interest in 2004 resulted in her playing a gig at London's 100 Club; a reviewer commented "the band struck up with a couple of driving soul numbers and were then joined by the diminutive Tandy to a rapturous reception.
