5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious - hot or cold....., 1 Oct 2007

By	Mr. Mrs. W. G. Krouwel - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jazz? Art? Comedy? Lunacy?.......Trad Jazz it ain't....Largely featuring the Alberts and two better-known bands that emerged from their world,(The Bonzos and the Temperance Seven), this is a truly great album. In some ways, the bands are all different: the Bonzos are famously pythonesque; the Alberts utterly anarchic; the Temperance Seven are probably the best musicians, best recorded, and have the stiffest upper lips.

The music is where the common threads emerge: 1920's white jazz (a La early cartoon etc. soundtracks - all plinking banjoleles, muted cornets and baritone saxes) forms the basis for lunatic improvisations and surreal lyrics invariably delivered in a Woosteresque upper class drawl by a lounge lizard in plus fours. The results are strangely catchy and you'll find yourself singing something like "Pasadena" in public, to the embarrassment of your loved ones.

It's far too deliberately stiff and archaic to be typical of the jazz of the Ball/Barber/Bilk 1960's trad boom, but - because of the anarchic surrealism - has remained very listenable.

Favourite tracks are the absolutely loony Alberts/Spike Milligan collaboration "You've got to say aah" and the Bonzo's irreplaceable "Hunting Tigers Down in India". For me the least best was Peter Sellers' strangely muted attempt at "Ukulele Lady". Most underrated thing on the whole album is "Whispering" Paul McDowell's immaculate vocals for the Temps.....

Buy it, love it, convert others, get more of this stuff released
