Artist:  Jonah Jones

Title:  Swingin' on Broadway

Date:  1957

Label:  Capitol Records   T963

Notes:  Jonah and friends parlay their jazz and Dixieland chops into an album of show tunes which brought him widespread popularity in its time. The melodies reign supreme here, some familiar like old friends. No credit is given for album design or the great cover shot of a couple of lovely ladies out for a fine night on Broadway. Those purses could almost be mistaken for small coolers nowadays. Very cool flea market find.

Line Up:

Jonah Jones: trumpet
George Rhodes: piano
John Brown: bass
Harold Austin,: drums
