Louis Prima With Sam Butera & The Witnesses - Blast Off The Live New Sound Of Louis Prima
Review by Nat Russo
Louis Prima's "Blast Off The Live New Sound Of Louis Prima" is a timeless classic that truly captures the essence of swing music. The album, which features Sam Butera & The Witnesses, is a live recording that showcases Prima's electrifying performance style and his ability to captivate an audience.
From the opening track "Jump, Jive an' Wail" to the closing number "When You're Smiling," Prima's infectious energy and Butera's masterful saxophone playing keep the tempo upbeat and the crowd on their feet. The album also features Prima's signature hits such as "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Buona Sera."
The production quality of the album is impressive and the sound engineering captures the live performance perfectly. The instrumentation is top-notch and the horns, drums, and piano all blend together seamlessly, creating a cohesive and dynamic sound.
