Spike Jones Artist Snapshot:

Bandleader Spike Jones spent the 1940s and '50s turning out madcap comedy records that alternately offered original, offbeat songs and satirized popular songs of the day. With his musical cohorts the City Slickers, the Long Beach, CA-born Jones managed the wonderful feat of not only being funny, but also making true musical jokes. The controlled pandemonium they took to the top of the pop charts in the '40s was the result of a top-flight band leader having stellar players at his command, unafraid to pillage anything from jazz to pop to classical music.

Review

Q (1/00, p.138) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Utilising Dixieland jazz decorated by the sounds of cowbells, gunshots, cuckoo clocks, klaxon horns and toy whistles, his band fought an aural conflict....This 4CD set fully documents the lunacy..."

Title Note

Full performer name: Spike Jones & His City Slickers.

Includes 24-page booklet.

This four-disc set provides the ultimate guide to the musical madness of Spike Jones, the bandleader whose inspired insanity provided comic relief whenever the mainstream musical styles of the day seemed too serious. Along with his City Slickers, Jones specialized in parodic versions of material from the worlds of pop, jazz, country, classical, you name it--no genre was safe from his sonic terrorism.

Instead of merely tacking funny lyrics onto a familiar tune, Jones took a a comprehensive approach to musical mockery, filling his arrangements with everything from animal noises to shattering glass and revving machinery (was he the first proto-industrial artist?) for a truly unhinged effect. The wealth of vintage (1930/'40s) material here, including Spike's deconstructions of "Tea for Two," "The Sheik of Araby," and more, makes it clear that he was the godfather of musical comedy.
