Музыка и песни Morrow, Buddy / Morrow, Buddy

Obituaries published in the wake of trombonist Buddy Morrow’s passing on 27th September 2010 have prompted a reassessment of an individual talent who emerged during the swing era forged in the mid-1930s, and left a mark on mainstream music as a jazz-bandleader during the apocryphal period between jump ‘n’ jive and rock ‘n’ roll. The mastermind behind the 1953 rhythm and blues crossover single ‘Nightrain’, Morrow went on to record over 20 albums in a career that ended just two nights before his sad passing at 93. Having enjoyed considerable fashionability and reached new audiences in recent years – not least because of his championing by both Tom Waits and Norah Jones – his death has only increased interest in a maverick musician whose life and music is ripe for further investigation by current and future generations of music lovers.
