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 and his quartet give here the aftertheater treatment to hits from famous Broadway musicals. Jones familiar, swinging trumpet and rhythm section infuse the songs with his own spirited style, and the whole set is swingy, for either listening or dancing. All in Jones own brand of mostly muted jazz trumpet rich, mellow and stimulating.
