⬇️ ERROL DIXON ⬇️
(6CD)
The ultra-fast piano playing of the early-twentieth century has continued
to infuse the music of pianist, Errol Dixon. Inspired by New Orleans
pianist Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941), Dixon's repertoire combines
boogie-woogie, gospel, swing, soul and piano blues.
Born in Jamaica, Dixon moved to New York with his parents, at the age of
twelve. The blues and jazz emanating out of the clubs of Harlem captivated
his interest.
Launching his professional career after moving to London, in the
mid-1950s, Dixon scored a number one hit with his debut single, "Midnight
Train", in 1960. Dixon's resume includes collaborations with Arthur "Big
Boy" Crudup, B.B. King and Muddy Waters.
