I was really disappointed when I read the back of the CD where Joe Jackson wrote that Jumpin Jive was just a one shot album. I was hoping he would do at least one more jazz/bop/swing album, maybe along the lines of Theo Monk or Charlie Parker?
[ don formica ] joe actually made a point by making every album different jazz soul etc he is a very talented and underated musician i used to work in a bikers pub personally i used tammy by debbie reynolds to get rid
@tdalaska None of my friends appreciate JJ's music. If anyone were to say they don't love this album, in particular, well, I would say to them, "You ain't got no red corpuscles!" LOL!
Of course this song works as HR/HM audience/venue-vomit inducement; it's a jump blues from the late 40's. It's glorious for what it is. Every so many years, we get a swing and jump blues revival. The last one was in the late 90's, and this song was from the smaller one of the early 80's. There should likely be another one in a few more short years, if the world still turns by then. This song shall belong to it then, too.

No mo', huh? Yeah - definitely not rock and roll - I can see where this would come in handy for dispersing a crowd. lol
