Rockabilly Bops
(Soho)
Fabled Jazz dreadnoughts turn their hands to instrumental endeavors more plebeian, the product proving both merry and bracing. A host of happy portraits pass the imagination: crew cuts and pony-tails rollicking 'round a Seeburg; two straws in a chocolate malted; switchblade mumblety peg; and steamed-up jalopies parked 'neath stars. Efficient production that performs its proper function, otherwise remaining scarce, aids musical elegance.
All assembled are first-chair. Too, cognoscenti will savour the one-bloodedness that arrives via brim-tips to Johnny Otis, Stray Cats, and the crackerjack Munsters Theme.
