LOUIS PRIMA

Boogie Woogie

CD digipack

UPC: 8013252383120

Prima s distinctive sound encompassed New Orleans-style jazz, boogie-woogie, jump blues, R&B, early rock n roll, and even the occasional Italian tarantella. Regardless of what form his music took, it swung hard and fast, with a rolling, up-tempo shuffle beat that helped some of his earlier material cross over to R&B audiences (his songs were also covered by jump blues artists from time to time). His greatest period of popularity coincided with his marriage to singer Keely Smith, whose coolly sophisticated vocals and detached stage manner made a perfect counterpoint to Prima s boisterous presence: mugging, clowning, and cavorting around the stage with the boundless enthusiasm of a hyperactive boy.
