How short was the career of Ritchie Valens? From the time he was discovered playing a matinee show in a movie theater up to his sudden death in 1959, his career spanned a total of eight months. When he died, he was just 17 years old. So, how did this kid who was still of high school age, and who never released an album during his lifetime, become such an enduring figure over the last almost 60 years? Part of it was that he had been part of the first real rock and roll tragedy. Valens died in the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. Part of it was how young he was. And the other part of it was his music. He was, at 17, the one who brought “La Bamba” to the masses, paving the way for a world of Mexican rock and roll (a bigger world than you might think). But he was more than just that song. “Donna” was a song he wrote for his high school sweetheart. And “Come On, Let’s Go” was a surprisingly strong hit as well.
The album Ritchie Valens was released a month after his death. And it’s really the only album by him that’s really necessary. There are a lot of compilations and tracks and scraps swept off of the editing floor out there…this is all you need. Valens wrote half of the songs here, and “La Bamba” is his own arrangement. The album (only 25 minutes long) shows that Valens was not great, but that he was developing, was very talented, and that there was a definite future for him. Unfortunately, this is about all of what exists of his recorded legacy that’s worth hearing. But he is important, because of this music (which influenced a very large number of later musicians). Many of the many compilation albums out there are inferior and contain some cringeworthy tracks. This album is a small, but important part of the evolution of early rock and roll. Was Valens an innovator and a major figure? In many ways, no…not yet. Where was he headed? We’ll never know. [First added to this chart: 02/14/2024]

1955-COLUMBIA
Produced By GEORGE AVAKIAN
1. 'Round About Midnight
2. Ah-Leu-Cha
3. All Of You
4. Bye Bye Blackbird
5. Tadd's Delight
6. Dear Old Stockholm
'Round About Midnight was the first album by Davis on Columbia, where he would stay for 30 years. It features saxophonist John Coltrane, who had not yet become an icon. The interplay between the two here is great, with Davis' melodies being answered by Coltrane's energetic solos. The rhythm section of Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones never wavers.
A true jazz classic. One of many Davis albums that are necessary for anyone who's a fan. A beautiful piece of work. [First added to this chart: 01/27/2025]
