Notes
Pete Thomas - Alto Sax\nRaul Oliviera - Trumpet\nNick Weldon - Piano\nJoe Jackson - Voice and Vibes\nDave Bitelli - Tenor Sax and Clarinet\nGraham Maby - Bass\nLarry Tolfree - Drums\n\nBacking vocals by the whole band.\n\nArranged and produced by Joe Jackson\nRecorded May 1991 at Basing Street Studios, London\n\nWhen my dad was my age, jazz was not respectable.\nIt played in whorehouses not Carnegie Hall. These\nclassics of jump, jive and swing are all from the 1940's\n"Jumpin' Jive", "We the Cats" and "San Francisco Fan" \nfrom Cab Calloway; "Symphony Sid", a Lester Young tune\nwith words by King Pleasure; "Tuxedo Junction", our \ntribute to Glenn Miller; and the rest, all performed at one \ntime or other by our main inspiration, Louis Jordan, the king\nof the juke boxes, who influenced so many but is acknow-\nledged by so few. Like us he didn't aim at purists, or even\njazz fans - just anyone who wanted to listen and enjoy,\nReap this righteous riff.\n -JJ\n
