"Jumpin Jive" is a great album. Once again Joe is ahead of his times, releases this album in the early-80s and swing has a revival a decade later. Joe paying homage to Louis Jordan is a wonderful thing. If you like swing and jump, check out LOUIS JORDAN!

I was in Jr. High school when the JJ album was released and it totally changed my musical perspective.

+Bob Ruhe out of curiosity do you remeber how well received the album was by people?
@bobruhe84018 жыл бұрын
Well it was completely different than any of his other stuff. Most people want the new to sound like the old. Fair to say it bombed in the states but that's because he was ironically way ahead of his time bringing the old stuff back. I think it's his best work.

Bob Ruhe it certainly was a completely different musical direction for him,just for one album and seemed to be favourably embraced here by the reviewers,commentators,DJs,etc. I'm not sure exactly how well the album did commercially but I got to hear it off one of our lodgers downstairs who used to play me his music whenever I dropped in.

Better late than never, not sure where you guys are, but here in the UK in the late 70s early 80s the charts saw lots of 50s style rocknroll rockabiily hits, very popular, my scene entirely. Joe Jacksons was from Portsmouth uk, his first single was a huge pop hit in 1979. "Is She Really Going Out with Him ?" made Top 20 around the world, and Joe followed it with another Top 5 song a few months later. Both songs were in the New Wave style of Elvis Costello, but def not rock n roll. By 1981 Joe had changed direction completely, and he recorded an album of swing and jump-blues standards from the 40s and early 50s. Joe’s new group and their album were called “Joe Jackson’s Jumpin Jive”, after the Cab Calloway song. By happy coincidence, Cab’s original version was recorded in mid July, 1939, and sold over a million copies. Joe Jackson’s cover, the single off the album, made Number 43 in UK in mid July, 1981. I was aged 19, heard “Jumpin Jive” on BBC radio and like many others then discovered the originals by the likes of Calloway and Louis Jordan. Joe moved to New York, and is still very active in the swing and jazz fields, as recently as 2012 his latest album topped the U.S. Modern Jazz chart.

I've watched a lot of JJ performances, but never any from this tour, and it's painfully clear he never. ever had a better time than when he was playing these songs! Look at how much freaking fun he's having! In his element. Great to see.

OH GOOOOSH! That was one of my first favourite songs! My dad played it over and over in our old car! :))) I'm just sooo in love with that. I can't believe an 16 year old german boy listened to this! :D

I didn't see this tour, but I did catch him a couple of years later. Jumpin Jive totally influenced me when I was 14. I was already into Glenn Miller, but this album took me to a whole new level. Sadly, it was years before any Louis Jordan songs were available on CD (or vinyl). I wore three piece suits to school every day in Jr. High, for which I was mercilessly persecuted in 1979. Joe Jackson and his band totally defined my experience as a teenager, and I will never forget seeing them live.

The really awesome Cab Calloway and Nicholas Brothers bit is from Stormy Weather, which is an amazing film. Lena Horne stars, and the singing and dancing is out of this world! Rent the film if you can find it, it is a classic of cinema.

C'était la bonne époque. 7 ou 8 amis avec la musique autour de nous. Les joints qui tournaient dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Le thé et le sky dans le sens anti-horaire. 2 ou 3 filles qui dansaient au milieu de la pièce. Week end de détente.
