This is some of the most fun stuff I think I've ever heard. I can just imagine being around at the time and popping this on a record player and going nuts. Honestly pretty sure this thing invented the banger. My favorites here are probably "Jump, Jive, An' Wail", "Buona Sera", and "Basin Street Blues/When It's Sleepy Down South".
Musically this is some classic swing jazz, with Prima's hugely energetic and charismatic vocal refrain dotting these well played instrumentals with some flares of character and fun. I can definitely see myself playing this at work.
