Description:

Der in Philadelphia geborene Gitarrist Dave Appell mit ausgeprÃ¤gtem GespÃ¼r fÃ¼r Jazz, dessen Karriere als professioneller Musiker bis in die spÃ¤ten 1930er Jahre zurÃ¼ckreicht, machte eine unglaublicher Karriere im Rock'n'Roll als Arrangeur, Bandleader, musikalischer Leiter und Produzent. Sein Name ist nach wie vor ein Synonym fÃ¼r die Cameo-Parkway-Labelgruppe, fÃ¼r die er zahllose Hit-Platten schrieb, arrangierte und produzierte. Aber auch einige seiner eigenen - Ã¼berwiegend instrumentalen - 45er, auf denen er unter dem Namen The Applejacks auftrat, hatten Erfolg. Diese Zusammenstellung prÃ¤sentiert das Beste von Appells eigenen VerÃ¶ffentlichungen zwischen 1954 und 1962 und enthÃ¤lt alle seine bedeutenden Hits, vor allem den Millionen-Seller "Mexican Hat Rock" und seine Nachfolger "Rocka-Conga" und "Bunny Hop". Viele dieser Seiten sind seltene SammlerstÃ¼cke und unmÃ¶glich anderswo auf CD zu finden. - 1954-1962

A Philadelphia-born guitarist with a strong empathy for Jazz, whose career as a professional musician stretched back to the late 1930s, DAVE APPELL carved out an unlikely career in Rock'n'Roll as an arranger, bandleader, musical director and producer.

His name remains wholly synonymous with the Cameo-Parkway group of labels, for whom he wrote, arranged and produced countless hit records, for artists like Charlie Gracie, Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, The Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp, etc.

However, several of his own - predominately instrumental - 45s, on which he was billed in various guises of The Applejacks, enjoyed success in their own right.

This compilation presents the very best of Appell's own releases between 1954-1962 and includes all his significant hits, most notably the million-selling 'Mexican Hat Rock' and its follow-ups, 'Rocka-Conga' and 'Bunny Hop'.

Many of these sides are rare collectors' items, and are impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
