| Notes |
| Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive Pete Thomas - Alto Sax Raul Oliviera - Trumpet Nick Weldon - Piano Joe Jackson - Voice and Vibes Dave Bitelli - Tenor Sax and Clarinet Graham Maby - Bass Larry Tolfree - Drums Backing vocals by the whole band. Arranged and produced by Joe Jackson Recorded May 1981 at Basing Street Studios, London "When my dad was my age, jazz was not respectable. It played in whorehouses not Carnegie Hall. These classics of jump, jive and swing are all from the 1940's "Jumpin' Jive", "We the Cats" and "San Francisco Fan" from Cab Calloway; "Symphony Sid", a Lester Young tune with words by King Pleasure; "Tuxedo Junction", our tribute to Glenn Miller; and the rest, all performed at one time or other by our main inspiration, Louis Jordan, the king of the juke boxes, who influenced so many but is acknow- ledged by so few. Like us he didn't aim at purists, or even jazz fans - just anyone who wanted to listen and enjoy, Reap this righteous riff." -JJ |
