The editorial-null collection: all the man's #1 singles (not greatest hits!), in chronological order.
So pure.
One way to appreciate this album's as a jaunty little rock history lesson - two of these tracks made the great First Rock and Roll Record comp, after all. This jumps, its a big band swinging, punchy set, with Jordan crooning easy and then spitting it out like he don't give a damn: that's where you hear it, in a man that's past musicality and on to seeing what kind of ] impact [ his voice can deliver. That's not a jazz move, that's rock.
And it works as music too, whatyda know. It's those big horn hits, those shuffly rolls, and Jordan, all hot and cool, blazing energy delivered effortlessly, or with the occasional exquisite delivery of effort 4/5
