Jive at Five


Jive at Five is an album by trumpeter Joe Newman featuring tracks recorded with members of the Count Basie Orchestra in 1960 and originally released on the Swingville label.

Reception

awarded the album 4 stars stating "Newman and his friends swing their way through four vintage standards and a couple of the leader's original blues in typical fashion".
John A Tynan gave the release 4 stars in his DownBeat review. Tynan called the album "an object lesson in relaxed and intelligent blowing. All the elements fit—compatible musicians, familiar material, assertedly congenial atmosphere — and are doweled together into a deceptively simple and always swinging whole... This get-together grooves all the way, coming in and going out swinging".
