This cash-in CD's genial, all-over-the-place programming seems to reflect its compilers' confusion about exactly what the roots of the '90s swing revival are. The hard-charging Count Basie workout "Swingin' the Blues," Dave Bartholomew's jump blues "That's How You Got Killed Before," Alvino Rey's ear-rendingly brassy "Cement Mixer," and Fats Domino's proto-ska "Be My Guest" are all trotted out as evidence before the jury declares a mistrial and heads for a bar. --Rickey Wright
