After the success of last years Rockin 'Race Jamboree in Torremolinos, the organization of the festival is pleased to announce the artists who will be attending the next edition of the Rockin' Race Jamboree in February 2012, the festival with greatest devotion held on the Costa Del Sol. Loyal to their philosophy, they will present two original artists from the 50's whose careers they have been following for years, to certify the quality of the show.
Exclusively, there is the great "Big Jay McNeely" King of Rock & Roll Saxophone, who with his 85 years of age still performs all over the world, this will be his second visit to Spain, but on this occasion and exclusively will be the only time that you may see Big Jay McNeely in Spain together with Ray Collins 'Hot Club (the best swing band in the world that because of popular demand will repeat on the stage of the Rockin' Race Jamboree). Big Jay McNeely is considered the best saxophonist in the history of Rhythm Rockin 'Blues music, which attracted the white audience at the height of U.S. racial era.
The second original star of the 50's they present is SONNY BURGESS. From the USA, another big
musical star from Sun Records studies Tennessee. Sonny Burgess became famous in 1956 with his band The Pacers where issues that were harvested in the top of the U.S. charts and who today are leaders in Rockabilly music such as We Want to Boogie, Red Headed Woman , My Babe, Restless ...

The other artists that are part of the program are all first line bands in most original Rock & Roll music vrom the 50's with styles ranging from the Mersey Beat like "Peter Berry & Shake Set" from Norway to sounds more Surf / Garage 60's of the Japanese "Stompin 'Riffraffrs" without leaving bands that sound more Rhythm & Blues such as "Vicky Tafoya,". Another surprise is the presence of the most mythical band of the 80's in the USA, inactive for more than 10 years, but thanks to the festival´s organization they have brought the original members back together, we are talking about "the Planet Rockers", and this being the only performance they will give in Europe.
