Hot Fingers -- The Best of Jazzou Jones
Jazzou Jones doesn't really destroy pianos a la Jerry Lee Lewis, but you'd think the instrument was about to come apart when one of America's exceedingly few (possibly only?) living ragtime composers and pianists hits his blazing stride. Must make Mazzou and Pazzou, who think of him as their son, Thomas, mighty proud. For years a star entertainer aboard the riverboats Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and American Queen, Jazzou (in his Thomas Jones persona) produces some of the most beautiful liturgical music on the planet for the lucky congregation at his church down in Maine. This album does justice to his prowess as a pianist and champion of the ragtime musical genre. Buy it!
