Synopsis

Album Description
2008 two CD collection. A tireless showman and an underrated musical talent, Louis Prima swung his way to icon status thanks to an irresistible, infectious sound whose appeal translated across generations. Nominally a swing artist, Prima's distinctive sound also encompassed New Orleans-style Jazz, Boogie-Woogie, Jump Blues, R&B, early Rock 'N' Roll, and even the occasional Italian tarantella. Regardless of what form his music took, it swung hard and fast, with a rolling, up-tempo shuffle beat that helped some of his earlier material cross over to R&B audiences. 36 tracks including 'When The Saints Go Marching In', 'Chasing Shadows', 'St. Louis Blues' and many more. Essence.
