This is the first time that I’ve heard Swedish band Jump 4 Joy, but I’m sure I’ll be hearing them again.Their CD, Keep It Up is a nice mix of different styles of music, all loosely based on blues. Out of 11 tracks, seven are written by pianist Ulf Sandstrom, who shows that he knows his music & can play great piano. My favourite out of the original tracks has to be Big Black Mama, a slow, easy, traditional blues track which showcases Sandstrom’s fine piano playing. Personally, I wish that the whole album had been in this style. As it is, there is a good mix of different styles from funky blues to jump blues, with most styles in between. There are four good cover versions, including tracks by Willie Dixon and Snooks Eaglin, “Don’t You Tell Nobody” and “Let Me Go Home Whiskey,” which are given good up-tempo treatment which suits them really well. If you like boogie woogie piano, then it’s worth getting this CD just for the track “She Wants To Sell My Monkey” ... it had my foot tapping the whole time!
