Music reviews of Apollo Jump

Music Review: Jive...not that there's anything wrong with that
Rating: 3 Stars

Some people think this stuff is amazing...there was that whole "Swing revival" with those ridiculous hepped-up bands playing some kind of Louis Jordan - on - steroids music. A flash in the pan. But, no matter. For those of us who are a little more, shall we say, level headed, a disc like this can help flesh out the whole picture of the complex relation between art, commerce, entertainment, show biz in the whole Black Music world. And what happened when Swing Jazz stopped being a central Popular Music, around 1945. Jazz divided, not so neatly into R + B on one hand, (Be)Bop on the other. And this is fascinating...This disc, not so much. I love to write about such bands, but Lucky's was one that seemed to dive down into the lowest common denominator a little more resolutely than some others. Buddy Johnson, for example, is a real artist, working with this vocabulary. Lucky? A chameleonic businessman, from all evidence here. His one stroke of genius was incorporating the great Gospel singer/guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe into his band. But one should really pick up the Proper Box covering her work. It gives a thorough picture of that fascinating cultural moment. There is some really tasty playing on this set by Swing Era greats like drummer Jimmy Crawford, R + B saxophonists like Sam "The Man" Taylor, iron - lipped brass sections - like that. And Wynonie Harris has some Blues Shouting moments. The sound is the best I've heard from Proper. You may need this set...I do, because of the importance of Lucky Millinder to the Harlem scene of his time. But I feel my brain cells disappearing as I listen to it.

Description of Apollo Jump

Bandleader Lucky Millinder could not read music, nor could he play any instrument, yet he was a catalyst who could bring out the very best in many musicians he employed, above all he was a fantastic showman. Slipcase. Proper. 2002.
