"This is the Hot Lips Page I've been waiting years for!! His Columbia - Okeh and Harmony recordings have not been available since the 78 era and that's older than me. Orrin Keepnews, as usual, has done a fab job and the sound is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and buy this thang - someday people will know that Lips was a genius - an original - deserving of wider acclaim - could swing like crazy - was an A-1 singer - get down with the Blues and just think you were way ahead of them. Great notes by Dan Morgenstern too. Don't delay 'Jump For Joy' is a joy!!!!"

"At last, at last, at last, we've got a decent Lips Page CD and some real recognition for an artist who totally deserves it and who has been so unjustly forgotten. Hey guys, I've been looking for 'Take Your Shoes Off Baby or Stop Running Through My Mind' for decades. I loved it when I used to hear Lips do it at the Central Plaza in NYC in the late 1940s and it sounds every bit as good and is just as much fun in the early 2000s!"
