Jump, Jive An' Wail: The Essential

Trumpeting wild man Louis Prima was an indomitable force of swing. In the '30s he penned "Sing, Sing, Sing, " which Benny Goodman turned into an anthem for a generation. By the '50s, he was the hottest attraction in Vegas. His charisma blasts through on every track, including, for the first time on a Prima compilation CD, his hit song as an orangutan from Disney's The Jungle Book.
