Boots Brown Blockbusters, Dan Drew Daredevils – Rock That Beat
“Boots Brown” is a nickname jazz legend Shorty Rogers used for his RCA rhythm and blues, jump blues, early rock records.
Quote from fellow jazz legend, ace saxman, and Blockbusters member Dave Pell: “The Boots Brown dates were for movies but then RCA released them as singles. I don’t know why – maybe to make a double profit or to feed the pipeline for its new 45-rpm format. But you have to remember, at the time it wasn’t cool to play that kind of music if you played jazz. That’s why Shorty came up with a fake name. I don’t know why he chose Boots Brown or what it meant. I know we didn’t want our names on the records. We were too embarrassed.”
