The Cold Coffee Music Library: 1950-1954
http://coldcoffeemusic.blogspot.com/p/1954.html
And so, here are the albums we tried to digest, numbered from best to worst. And we do apologise if we missed out discovering a favourite record or failed to connect with a cherished piece of music. An analysis of what sold the most copies isn't the whole story and neither is our humble little library. Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy. The "Ambassador of Jazz" earns his right to the title with this tribute to the "Father of the Blues." Everything works perfectly. Nymith. Legend of the Sun Virgin. Charlie...

Well-read. Well-versed. Well-grounded. Essays and Reviews. The Dogs of Riga – Henning Mankell. Asymp; Leave a comment. Notes on my infrequent posting: I moved in May from a rental to a little cabin off the grid. I have an iphone and very intermittent access to a laptop since my old one finally gave up the ghost during the move. I have much time for reading and writing reviews but more difficulty getting them online so please bear with me until the setup is streamlined. Thank you.]. The Dogs of Riga.

An African in Greenland – Tété-Michel Kpomassie | Pseudo-Intellectual Reviews
https://pseudointellectualreviews.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/an-african-in-greenland-tete-michel-kpomassie
Well-read. Well-versed. Well-grounded. Essays and Reviews. An African in Greenland – Tété-Michel Kpomassie. Asymp; 2 Comments. An African in Greenland. Offers an unvarnished account closer to amateur cultural anthropology than a memoir. Kpomassie’s journey was by no means simple. Each step of the way he needed funds. He’d go as far as cash would take him, find friends, get a job and settle in, preparing for the next leg and wrangling an education out of his nomadic lifestyle. Social engineering didn̵...

The Cold Coffee Music Library: 1956
http://coldcoffeemusic.blogspot.com/p/1956.html
To rock fans, 1956 was possibly the biggest year of the decade just because it marks the introduction of Elvis but 1956 was a huge year in music for many more reasons than that - it was a watershed of eclectic artistry, a year worth studying in its own right. Exciting developments were made in jazz as hard bop gave ground to experimental ensembles and in rock music as Bill Haley was eclipsed by youthful upstarts. Songs of the Year: Our "Top 10". Not necessarily in this order! 5 Black Coffee by Peggy Lee.

The Cold Coffee Music Library: 1955
http://coldcoffeemusic.blogspot.com/p/1955.html
On the other hand, if you were a hard-bopping high-octane jazz ensemble looking to strut your stuff, you could release albums at a prodigious rate. Keeping in mind that only a couple of years back there had been a strict limit on song and LP lengths, the 1955 jazz explosion makes a lot of sense. Everybody gets to solo! But what was available to an audience hungry for innovators? Purists way back then? Chico Hamilton Quintet featuring Buddy Collette. Julie is Her Name. Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers.
