Augie Garcia Quintet Greatest Hits (what if) Album

Augie Garcia, the Latino pioneer of rock 'n' roll in Minnesota, had four record releases totaling eight songs. His recordings, largely forgotten, were never released as a vinyl or CD album collection. This video imagines such a vinyl album: _The Augie Garcia Quintet - Jump, Jive and Wail._

The video contains numerous photos and a text crawl containing some of the background surrounding Augie Garcia including his West Side Flats neighborhood, his band members, his Bermuda shorts, his showmanship and upstaging of Elvis Presley.

The role of Latino's in the early formation of rock 'n' roll in the mid-1950's is generally understated, or unknown. The Augie Garcia's mixed-race quintet showed next generation rock 'n' rollers how it's done!

Track list: (1) Drinking Wine Spoli Oli, (2) Hello Baby, (3) Hi Yo Silver, (4) Going To Chicago,
(5) Ivy League Baby, (6) Let the Good Times Roll, (7) Ring-A-Ling-A, (8) Be My Guest
