very influential with Zatarans and Olive Garden

Very fun record! I'm really enjoying this blast from the past.

Big band jazz.

Es un cuatro que debería ser cinco pero no me animé. Y es que está buenísimo, perfecto y todo, pero ¿lo escucharía cualquier día para pasar el rato? No lo sé. 4.99 por eso. Lo siento.

Chulada papaw

Oh Marie, a classic. Jump Jive and Wail, the remake by Brian Setzer isn’t too bad. Love the bonus tracks on Spotify.

there’s only so much scatting one girl can take

Was first introduced to Louis Prima and Keely Smith with the Big Night soundtrack. That was way too late in life! Enjoyed them ever since. Listening feels like I might be on the back porch of a two-flat in Melrose Park circa 1955. Buona Cera!

Brill, wanna be like you. Some classics.

I like this way more than I expected. It sounds like people having a great time. The harmony in the brass and vocals is really satisfying, and their voices are really cool individually.

Este disco ya era bien rockanrolero y jump jive es un claro ejemplo Había escuchado varias canciones pero no sabía de quieren eran. Supongo que era la música diabólica de sus tiempos

Muy bonito y claro ejemplo de esa transición del jazz y rhythm and blues a lo que después sería el Rock and Roll. No sabía que Jump, Jive an' Wail era de él, pero sin duda es una canción que cuando Brian Setzer la popularizó me gustaba mucho.

Love hearing him tell his band to let it rip on their solos - SING UP. The call and response songs are great too, especially the Lip. Some of them are funny as well - Glad When You're Dead and the twist at the end of Banana Split is hilarious.

Loved it. Great album. Would listen to again.

Nice easy listening. Pretty fun tunes, and outside my normal wheelhouse. Won't return to it, but alright alright alright.

Not something I'll listen to by choice, but it's classic and hard to rate poorly.

Fun, enjoyable

The start of the album was a little rough. Definitely not our taste in music. However, as it went on, I started to recognize a couple songs, and the enjoyment increased.

ridiculous and old timey and la mf prima fav track: jump, jive an' wail

It's swing alright. Some fun stuff on here. Not on my rotation, but appreciated.

EXTREMELY fun to listen to!

Jazzy and fun.

Toooooooo old for me

I'm a big fan of this particular brand of swing music, where it's got this energy and gibberish and craziness to the lyrics. It feels like a party to me, and it connects with me a lot more than straight Jazz.

Not bad album. Some good tracks though nothing mind blowing.

unexpected bop

This album is full of smiles and toe-tapping, it's all so very happy. I can happily listen to this stuff for hours. It runs along in the background like a friend who's just around to cheer you up and remind you to take a break for a smile every now and then. It's very nice.

So much better than expected.

Fun jamming. It is described as Vegas at 3AM and I feel it.

Enjoyed this for the most part. What a refreshing change!

what a fun, lighthearted album. I'll keep this one on deck

Good classic

Normally I like jazz but...not so much this one.

Entertaining - good background music. 40s/50s lots of horns.

background vocals are a little chaotic, and not sure I'm a fan of the random repetitive syllables

Really fun! More of a background music album than a deep-dive, but a few very fun big band classics along with some lovely jazz tunes.

Like the production. Sounds great for 1956. Some tracks a bit samey. Wouldn't listen again though.

Not for me

Louis-esque jazz

fun oldies!

Reminds me of Mad Men and Fallout.

Not a fan

Very funny and happy music to rise the spirit

Old school, but not old school cool

Not my sort of music. It's OK but I just won't listen to this by choice. I'll give this a 3 as am rating 2.8/5. Rating is mainly for excellent recording, excellent singing and skilful playing.

Loved it!

Primo dino 50's jazz. Jump, Jive, an Wail.

Classic oldies fifties plaatjes. Soms zeer typisch, soms zeer leuk.

quite good

I dug this one

Great stuff, but this one I've heard dozens of time

Spotify. Fave Song - "(I'll Be Glad When You're Dead) You Rascal You" 4.25 fun listen.

This was a surprisingly fun record. I did not expect to enjoy this album NEARLY as much as I did. It felt like the soundtrack to an old black & white film or a modern Pixar movie - in all the best ways. There's so much life and joy and energy here. It's just a blast. That said, it's definitely a particular vibe and I'm not usually in the mood for something likt that. But I'm making a note of this one to come back to when I AM in the mood because, when you want it, it comes in hot.

50’er vibe, flere kendte melodier, fremtrædent, jazz/blues/swing/r&b blanding

I bet you this would've been super fun to see live. New Orleans truly has a fantastic music scene, and Mr. Prima must've been the absolute king. Love the sense of humor and the lively brass. Favorite tracks: "Buono Sera", "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead", "Jump Jive an' Wail"

This was nifty and energetic, and also a bit goofy. Definitely an interesting listen.

i cant believe kanye got this dude for a track

7/10 F.t.: Just a gigolo

Kind of reminds me of christmas. I enjoyed it though

Seriously, what a joyful ride this was. Loved everything about it. Could hardly not dance to it.

One of those albums that's a bit too old timey for me to really judge but it's pretty catchy. I reckon it would have been my style of music if I was alive then lol
