The Red Wagons’ self produced album, Jumpin’ with Friends was several years in themaking and finally released to very limited distribution on October 2, 2012. I just got my hands on the CD a few weeks ago and every selection from this great disc has made its way onto the BLUES JUNCTION jukebox at various times in the month of January. One of the founding members of the band, pianist Marco Meucci is the subject of an interview that appears in this month’s ezine. This Italian group has that little, big band sound and is in that sense a kind of Roman version of Roomful of Blues. Guests on this record include Sugar Ray Norcia, Lynwood Slim, Igor Prado, Mitch Woods as well as the two artists who appear on four of the album’s sixteen tracks, Junior Watson and Sax Gordon. I chose a heretofore obscure number by lefty Bates entitled, Chicago Cha Cha featuring Watson and Sax Gordon.
