"Asia Minor" is a 1961 #instrumental recording by #JimmyWisner (operating under the name Kokomo so as to not alienate his #jazz fans). It is a #rockAndRoll adaptation of #EdvardGrieg's "#PianoConcertoInAMinor", using #shellac on the hammers of a cheap piano so as to induce a #honkytonk sound. He was turned down by 10 labels and had to release the track on his own label Future Records. The song became a hit, reaching No. 8 on the #Billboard Hot 100.
