Brian Setzer • Jump, Jive an' Wail The Best of the Brian Setzer Orchestra 1994-2000

 

 



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
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine  
Después de disolver su grupo de rockabilly retro, los Stray Cats, Brian Setzer se reinventó como líder de una big band de swing retro con la Brian Setzer Orchestra a principios de los 90. Como los Cats, hacían aparentemente una cosa, pero esa cosa abarcaba mucha música: rock & roll, jump blues, jazz, pop tradicional. Como los Cats, aparentemente hacían una cosa, pero esa cosa abarcaba mucha música: rock & roll, jump blues, jazz, pop tradicional, para empezar. Aunque abarcaban mucho, todos los discos seguían más o menos la misma línea, tocando cada vez los mismos temas, a veces con más eficacia que otras. Esa inconsistente similitud se presta bien a una buena recopilación, que es lo que hace la generosa colección de 2003 Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Best of the Brian Setzer Orchestra 1994-2000. Tiene todos los grandes singles y todas las grandes canciones de los álbumes, y aunque no está secuenciada cronológicamente, no importa porque la lista de canciones tiene la propulsión de un buen concierto (además, si todos los discos son variaciones sobre el mismo tema, no importa realmente si no siguen el orden de publicación). Es un buen rato divertido y rockero, un excelente resumen de los puntos fuertes de Setzer en la segunda fase de su carrera.
