Linked to the Apollo Theater, well before it became the place for
James Brown
or the entire slate of Motown and Gordy artists, was the Apollo Records label. The theater continued to thrive to the present day, but the label ceased operation in 1962. Fortunately for us, Delmark managed to acquire the masters for Apollo's output, and so have been able to produced a series of albums that compile the best material released by that label.
East Coast Jive
features
Babs Gonzales
,
Loumell Morgan
Artie Simms
Babe Wallace
the Four Blues
and
Ben Smith
. Delmark's Bob Koester provides liner notes with pointers for further references, though even Koester is stumped by the background of some of the recordings and a few of the artists involved.
is a fun compilation of jive, cheerfully uptempo and lighthearted stuff that keeps the toes tapping and the head nodding in rhythm. Well worth picking up. ~ Steven McDonald
