Description: Personnel: Jonah Jones (tp, vcl), George Rhodes, Teddy Brannon, Hank Jones (p), John Brown (b), Harold Austin, George 'Pops' Foster (d) JONAH JONES MASTERWORKS The Capitol Years · Collectors Edition · Issued in Digipack · 2 LPs on 1 CD · Original Cover Art and Liner Notes · Hi-Fi and Stereo Recordings · Newly Remastered 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 Muted Jazz, Jones distinctive muted trumpet swings tastefully in Armstrong derived style, and also sings pleasantly, good jazz standards. Jones had long forsaken the pure jazz route for a more readily communicative form of music. Hit Me Again! is an excellent example of what he was aiming for in 1959 and 1960, which makes it a very listenable and danceable album. In 1961... Jonah Jones was still Americas No.1 Jazz Salesman!
