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.
On this set Jonah Jones rides on top of an excellent rhythm section to blow very good muted and open horn on Swingin at the Cinema, a tribute to his considerable versatility and awesome courage to swing such masterworks as the 'Colonel Bogey March' or 'True Love.' Jones sets the pace for this package with I Dig Chicks!, which he chants to good effect. The group as usual swings in a commercial groove...
For his efforts in the Capitol album I Dig Chicks!, Jones received a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by an Orchestra.
