Listener Reviews & Comments
I certainly hope this 2-CD set is re-stocked because, in my opinion, it's among the best ever to emerge from the Time-Life/EMI Music series of releases, a veritable treasure trove of 30 of the best jump, jive and swing tunes ever to hit the market. For the record, here are the contents of each disc: Disc One 1. Jump, Jive 'N Wail - Louis Prima; 2. The House Of Blue Lights - Chuck Miller; 3. Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me? - Bull Moose Jackson; 4. Cow-Cow Boogie - Freddie Slack & His Orchestra with vocal by Ella Mae Morse; 5. Rock The Joint - Chris Powell & The Five Blue Flames; 6. Rockin' Is Our Business - The Treniers; 7. Chicken-Shack Boogie - Amos Milburn; 8. Straighten Up And Fly Right - The King Cole Trio; 9. Saturday Night Fish Fry Parts 1 & 2 - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five; 10. See You Later, Alligator - Bill Haley & His Comets; 11. Bloodshot Eyes - Wynonie Harris; 12. Hit, Git And Split - Young Jessie; 13. The Train Kept A-Rollin' - Tiny Bradshaw; 14. It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) - Duke Ellington & His Famous Orchestra; 15. The Hucklebuck (instrumental) - Paul Williams & His Hucklebuckers. Disc Two 1. Bandstand Boogie - Les Elgart & His Orchestra; 2. Oh Babe! - Roy Milton & His Solid Senders; 3. Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop - Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra; 4. Hand Clappin' - Wilbert "Red" Prysock; 5. Jump Children - Dave Bartholomew & His Orchestra; 6. 5 Months, 2 Weeks, 2 Days - Louis Prima; 7. Drunk - Jimmy Liggins & His 3-D Music; 8. Minnie The Moocher (1942 version) - Cab Calloway & His Orchestra; 9. Choo Choo Ch-Boogie - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five; 10. Pack Fair And Square - Big Walter (Price); 11. Safronia B - Calvin Boze; 12. Beat Me Daddy (Eight To The Bar) - Parts 1 & 2 - Will Bradley & His Orchestra featuring Ray McKinley & Freddie Slack; 13. Cadillac Baby - Roy Brown; Who's Got The Key - Sam Butera; Pink Champagne - Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers. Some were hit singles in their day, other were not, but the entire package is delightful. With the large fold-out insert you get, on one side, a full page of instructions, with diagrams, on how to do The Lindy, while on the other are two pages of liner notes written by Arion Berger and a discography of the contents showing the year and label number and, where applicable, the chart performance. There is one notable error here where they indicate that Cow-Cow Boogie on Capitol 102 was not a hit. It was, in fact, a # 9 in 1942 for Freddie Slack's orchestra and Ella Mae Morse. They also credit Straighten Up And Fly Right to Nat "King" Cole, while technically it was a hit for The King Cole Trio before Nat went solo. The sound reproduction is flawless.
