Brian Setzer Orchestra
Say what you want about Brian Setzer and his cool retro-swing, but the man can not only play the hell out of a guitar, he can lead a big band like a pro, singing and playing sure, but he can write charts too. This set is rather ingenious. It contains two discs chock-full of the tunes that the Brian Setzer Orchestra has become (in)famous for. Disc ...

The Wildest!

by
Louis Prima
A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ...

by
Louis Prima
Buona Sera is a perfectly serviceable collection of many of Louis Prima's biggest hits, but since the Capitol Collectors Series compilation contains many of the same tunes, and 26 tracks total versus 16 total here, that one is probably a smarter buy. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

Jump blues, of course, was crucial to the birth of R&B and rock & roll. More important, the infectious swing, grit, and humor were great in themselves. Jump Blues Classics collects 18 tracks from the golden days of the genre in the late '40s and 1950s. Most of the pioneers of the style are here -- Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, Ruth Brown, ...
