Cecil Gant: 1944-1945
(1997)
more music like this
by
Cecil Gant
Cecil Gant did a lifetime's worth of recording in six scant years between the release of his first single, the lovely "I Wonder," and his death in 1952 at the age of 38. In between he assembled a ragged legacy of ballads, piano boogies, and urban blues numbers (most of them with Gilt-Edge Records) that exhibits a distinctly modern awareness of how ...

From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ...

Complete, Vol. 7: 1950-1951
(2006)
more music like this
by
Cecil Gant
Cecil Gant wasn't a particularly gifted singer, but he exuded fun and confidence (and sincerity, as well, on the ballads), and his piano skills often sacrificed technique for energy and power, attitude traits that make him, in many ways, a prototype figure for rock & roll. Gant sang well enough, and was adept enough at the piano, though, to put it ...

Rock Little Baby
(1976)
more music like this
by
Cecil Gant
British record collectors were hip to 1940s boogie and blues pianist Cecil Gant long before American aficionados were (not that there's much recognition of him here even now). Flyright assembled this vinyl slab of Gant goodies in loving tribute, with titles like "Screwy Boogie," "Owl Stew," and the stinging "Rock Little Baby" among the upbeat ...

Cecil Boogie
(1976)

by
Cecil Gant
A second generous helping of boogies and blues by "the G.I. Sing-Sation," as Pvt. Gant was billed on his earliest mid-'40s sides for Gilt-Edge. His thundering boogie piano style on "We're Gonna Rock," "Nashville Jumps," and "Cecil Boogie" presaged the rise of rock & roll. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
