JONAH JONES MASTERWORKS The Capitol Years Collector s Edition Issued in Digipack 2 LPs on 1 CD + Bonus Tracks Original Cover Art and Liner Notes Hi-Fi and Stereo Recordings Newly Remastered 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 is a powerful joining of forces, with trumpet man Jonah Jones taking the lead in front of the Casa Loma styled Benny Carter arrangements for big band. The tunes are all closely associated with other famous horn men James, Armstrong, Stewart, Eldridge, Berigan, etc while the impeccable studio band radiates a goodly fire of its own behind Jones. On That Righteous Feelin the voices of the Jubilee Four keep in a handclapping mood the fresh, sanctifying gospel sounds of Jonah Jones with Dick Hyman and the New Disciples of Rhythm. Everything about it sounds right or righteous!
