Original Released on LP Capitol ST 1405
(US, 1962)
Trumpeter/vocalist
Jonah Jones recorded so many albums for Capitol from 1957 to 1963 that it was always
a challenge to come up with new themes for dates, particularly since Jones'
smooth style was largely unchanged from the 1940s. In this case, he performs a dozen
songs with "blue" or "blues" in their title, joined by his
quartet (with pianist Teddy Brannon, bassist John Brown and drummer George
Foster) plus a large chorale of "background" singers. The vocalists
definitely get in the way, weighing down Jones' versions of such songs as
"I Get the Blues When It Rains," "Blue Turning Grey Over
You," "Birth of the Blues," "Blue Skies," etc. A
somewhat forgettable record, despite some pleasing moments from the trumpeter.
