Jazz with John Hellings: Topsy Turvy Jazz

Topsy Turvy Jazz

BBC Local Radio - Jazz with John Hellings, Topsy Turvy Jazz

Was the Cozy Cole version of Topsy first issued on one side and Turvy on the reverse?

We ask the question about Cozy Cole’s hit in the late fifties. There’s a musician’s story that Topsy was issued first on side A while side B contained Turvy. We shall enlist your help with this. Is it true or not? Besides the puzzle, there’s music from Duke Ellington, Chu Berry, Hank Jones, Wycliffe Gordon and Phil Woods with songs from Tierney Sutton, Elaine Delmar, Val Wiseman. There are also songs from Jamie Davis and we shall be talking to him as well. We also play a Dave Brubeck track to remember the pianist who died today.
