Jonah Jones zoomed to popularity in the late 50s. He found a successful formula and used it to brighten the hit charts with a succession of bouncy albums on Capitol Records. His quartet was one of the three newcomers in the Top 10 wide variety of small groups listed in the favorite Instrumental Billboard lists in 1958. This was a time when rock and roll styled disks were flooding the singles record market, jazz combos were having big pop single hits, and Jonah Jones albums were among the most played by the nation s disc jockeys on radio shows throughout the country. 

There s little doubt that in the 1960s jazz and pop music were drawing closer together than they had been for years, and Jonah Jones was one of the best-selling artists in the business. ~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/Jonah-Masterworks-Swingin-Jumpin-Shuffle/dp/B00LOORO8W

  1. Not a song over 3 minutes on this no-30-minutes album. I won't say this is an essential jazz record, but it's very fun to listen to. Merci.
