简介:
Once upon a time, this was not an obscure recording. I actually recall this in my dad's record collection, and recently purchased it on vinyl from a second hand shop. Released in 1961 as the follow up to Belafonte's #1 selling "Calypso" (the latter released in 1956), "Jump Up Calypso" rose to #3 on the Billboard charts and became a certified Gold record for album sales (over 500,000 copies). It only takes one listen to understand why, as this is an infectious album that combines some raucous calypso renditions of Caribbean folk tunes with a few more mellow but beautifully done selections featuring Belafonte's smooth as glass voice.

It's really hard to choose a standout on this album, as all of it wonderful. The opener, "Sweetheart from Venezuela" is a raucous party of a tune, as is the closer on side 2, "Angelina". "The Land of the Sea and Sun" is a charming, mellow folk tune, but my favorite might the the infectious grooves of "Monkey". Overall however, there are no weak spots here. Belafonte appears to have pulled off the rare feat of a follow-up that surpasses the original that inspired it (in this case, 1956's "Calypso".)

So what will it take to get a CD re-release of this classic? It appears that "Jump Up Calypso" has been out of print since the mid 1990's. I hope we don't have to wait for the brief Belafonte music revival that will likely follow his passing, which hopefully, won't be soon, but the man is well over 80 years old as of this writing. A double CD with both "Calypso" and "Jump Up Calypso" is practically a no brainer.
