Earl Bostic - Rockin With Bostic

Review by Néstor Suárez Alfonso

Rockin With Bostic is a classic album by the legendary saxophonist Earl Bostic. This album is a must-have for any fan of jazz or R&B music. Bostic's virtuoso saxophone playing is on full display on this album, and he is backed up by a talented group of musicians who help to create a sound that is both timeless and unforgettable.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Rockin' With Richard," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Bostic's saxophone is front and center, and the rhythm section provides a solid foundation for his improvisations. Other standout tracks on the album include "Bugle Call Rag," "Sleep," and "Flamingo."

One of the things that sets Rockin With Bostic apart from other jazz albums of its era is the way that Bostic seamlessly blends jazz and R&B influences. This is evident on tracks like "Temptation," which features a soulful vocal performance by Betty Roche, and "Cherokee," which features a swinging, bluesy groove.
