5.0 out of 5 stars MAKES YA WANNA DANCE, March 4, 2001

This is an outstanding album by a band that crosses musical boundaries and offers a little something for everybody. Using jazz as a starting point, these guys incorporate ska, reggae, blues, and swing into their music to give it a really unique sound. Besides being a great band themselves, they've brought in some legendary guest musicians to record this album. The popular Jamaican saxophonist Roland Alphonso, Lonnie Jordon, who was the hammond b-3 organ player for the band War. And Rico Rodriguez, the lengendary trombonist from Jamaica, who formed the first ska band 35 years ago. Some of the highlights on here include the reggae song PIGEON CLUB. The latin inspired COSTA LINDA and CLAO MARCELLO. And my favorite on here SUMMER COME LOVIN', which is the highlight of the album, and shows off talents of Alphonso and Rico. A lot of the music on here I swear I've heard before, I'm just not sure where. Much of this album has a kind of pop jazz sound that's very listenable, kind of like the old Henry Mancini music you used to hear in the movies. This record is never boring, and the infectious rhythms really keep you on your toes. One minute you want to put on the headphones and kick back, the next you'll want to get up and do a rock steady dance, Jamaican style. Jump With Joey are a very likeable band, and this is a great album that comes highly recommended.

This band manages to distill the essence of pure PARTYIN' onto disc, and yet its albums, all released in the early '90s, were unavailable domestically until '97. Ska! Salsa! Reggae! Swing! You name it, it's here, and it's all jumpin'. Thanx to Ryko for making these titles available... hopefully JWJ will go back into the studio and capture a little more of their spirit for us. This is where the ACTION is!
