Jonah Jones zoomed to popularity in the late 50s. He found a successful formula and used it to brighten the hit charts with a succession of bouncy albums on Capitol Records. His quartet was one of the three newcomers in the Top 10 wide variety of small groups listed in the favorite Instrumental Billboard lists in 1958.
Jonah Jones was truly a man with a rare talent for playing in a way that people loved. Jones trumpet stays fairly close to the melodic line and he displays an excellent sense of timing and pacing. In these two albums he just added a new sound with the tasteful vocal backgrounds of the Swinginest Chorale. All tailored to suit the clean, compact style which became a Jonah Jones trademark.
