Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
After disbanding his retro-rockabilly crew the Stray Cats, Brian Setzer reinvented himself as a retro-swing big-band leader with the Brian Setzer Orchestra in the early '90s. Like the Cats, they seemingly did one thing, but that one thing encompassed a lot of music -- rock & roll, jump blues, jazz, traditional pop, to start with. Though it encompassed a lot, all the records pretty much remained in the same vein, with each touching on the same themes each time, sometimes more effectively than others. That inconsistent similarity lends itself well to a good compilation, which is what 2003's generous 23-track collection Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Best of the Brian Setzer Orchestra 1994-2000 is. This has all the big singles and all the great album tracks, and while it's not sequenced chronologically, it doesn't matter because the track listing has the propulsion of a good concert (plus, if all the records are variations on the same theme, it doesn't really matter if they don't follow in order of release). It's a fun, rocking good time, an excellent summary of Setzer's strengths in the second phase of his career.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Después de disolver su equipo de retro-rockabilly, los Stray Cats, Brian Setzer se reinventó a sí mismo como un líder de big band de retro-swing con la Brian Setzer Orchestra a principios de los 90. Al igual que los Cats, aparentemente hicieron una cosa, pero esa cosa abarcó mucha música: rock & roll, jump blues, jazz, pop tradicional, para empezar. Aunque abarcó mucho, todos los discos se mantuvieron prácticamente en la misma línea, y cada uno tocó los mismos temas cada vez, a veces de manera más efectiva que otras. Esa similitud inconsistente se presta bien a una buena compilación, que es lo que es la generosa colección de 23 pistas Jump, Jive an 'Wail: The Best of the Brian Setzer Orchestra 1994-2000 de 2003. Esto tiene todos los grandes singles y todas las grandes pistas del álbum, y aunque no está secuenciado cronológicamente, no importa porque la lista de pistas tiene la propulsión de un buen concierto (además, si todos los discos son variaciones del mismo tema, realmente no importa si no siguen el orden de publicación). Es un momento divertido y estupendo, un excelente resumen de las fortalezas de Setzer en la segunda fase de su carrera.
