Our Take

Louis Prima, the musical maestro of the swinging sixties, has left us with a delicious treat in the form of "The Very Best Of" album. This compilation is a rollercoaster ride of jazzy tunes, chaotic scatting, and infectious energy that will have you tapping your toes and shaking your hips in no time.

Prima's iconic voice shines through on classics like "Jump, Jive an' Wail" and "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody", showcasing his playful charisma and unrivalled showmanship. The brass section is on fire throughout the album, adding a spicy kick to each track and transporting you straight to a smoky jazz club in New Orleans.

Tracks like "Oh Marie" and "Pennies from Heaven" slow things down a bit, allowing Prima to showcase his tender side with heartfelt lyrics and sweet melodies. But don't worry, the party never stops with songs like "Buona Sera" and "Basin Street Blues" keeping the energy levels high and the good times rolling.

"The Very Best Of" is a time capsule of Prima's incomparable talent and magnetic charm. So, dust off your dancing shoes, grab a cocktail, and let Louis Prima whisk you away to a world of swing, sass, and pure musical joy. Cheers to the King of Jive!
