★ Louie Prima: The Wildest!, 1956
This is the fun 1950s swing that I can get on board with, and it's chock full of hits. The nice surprise here was Keely Smith, who brings a sass and charm that threatens to upstage Louie on a few tracks.
Highlights:
Just a Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody
The Lip
Oh, Marie
Jump, Jive, An' Wail
Buona Sera
Night Train
