One ;More Time Oscar Brown jr. (Toppyjazz 592)

De eerste aflevering van Toppyjazz startte niet zo maar met zanger en componist Oscar Brown jr.
De eerste plaat (Sin & Soul) die Oscar maakte sloeg in als een bom.
Oscar Brown jr. stierf in 2005 maar staat nu weer volop in de belangstelling.
Zijn liedjes zijn door tientallen musici gecoverd, of voor het eerst uitgevoerd.
In de afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veel aandacht aan deze musicus besteed, die tijdens zijn leven veel te weinig waardering kreeg. Waarschijnlijk kwam dat omdat Oscar erg politiek ge-engageerd was en voor de rechten van de zwarten in Amerika opkwam. Veel daarvan verwerkte hij in zijn liedjes.
Een biographie van Oscar vind u op :http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3pfrxqt5ldje~T1
Deze week behandelen we veel van zijn albums uit de jaren 60 en 70.

U hoort gedeeltes van de albums Sin & Soul, Tells It Like It Is, Mr. Oscar Brown Goes To Washington, In A New Mood en Finding A New Friend.
