Best recent purchase: this Louis Prima album. Joie de vivre! His act was considered to be the wildest of the 1950s – whether that’s because of its (mild by current standards) ribald qualities, its exuberance or its being integrated – I suspect all played a part – it’s worth the listen. “Jump, Jive and Wail” has been cheapened by overuse in commercials, but songs like “Buona Sera”, “Banana Split for My Baby” and “Angelina” haven’t suffered that fate and probably never will. Good stuff!
