Album Notes Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar, background vocals); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (drums, background vocals).Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland and Nice, France between July and October, 1978.In 1978, all eyes were on Queen as they released the follow-up to their monster global hit NEWS OF THE WORLD. Predictably, JAZZ didn't achieve the massive commercial success of it's predecessor, but in aesthetic terms, it's a solid statement, and a marked progression of the band's musical vision. Though the band was already well into their "eclectic" mode by this time, the stylistic ventures the band takes on this album bring them even further afield from the heavy rock they're best known for. Freddie Mercury kicks things off with "Mustapha," a nod to his Middle Eastern origins. Queen exhibits a ribald sense of humour on "Fat Bottomed Girls." Mercury indulges his Broadway tendencies to the hilt on "IF You Can't Beat Them" and "Don't Stop Me Now," which sound like they could have come from some obscure '50s musical. The jazzy "Dreamer's Ball" and the mellow, romantic "In Only Seven Days" provide welcome contrast. Amid all this eclecticism, though, the standout tracks are the propulsive rockers "Let Me Entertain You" (whose promise they fulfill) and "Dead on Time." Editorial Reviews Which CD | |||||||||||||||

Report this review Queen - Jazz1 of 2 people found this review helpful. When hearing the title of this album, you could be immediately put off. This was Queen's way of being sarcastic I think. This album contains no Jazz music at all but a lot of rock-type music. Theres the super hits of Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race and Don't Stop Me Now, coupled with the smooth Jealousy and In Only Seven Days, and also the down-right weird - Mustapha. This album was one of the first to move away from the early 70s style which was not the fashion at this point. It's worth getting if you are intested in hearing some of the songs that Queen created at the same time as these hits. I will say though, that if you have an old vinyl player, it will be worth getting the LP with the poster insert included as this is becoming rare (the poster contains naked ladies from the Fat Bottomed Girls shoot and people usually sell the LP and keep the poster). Unfortunately, the CD doesn't even include a photo of this! Review ID: 10000000000138322 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
