Queen «Jazz» 1978 (1994 Digital Remasters)
[img]./fa/4177/0/[/img]
Jazz is a 1978 album by English rock band Queen. It was the band's seventh studio album,
and comprises a number of different styles of music, including disco-funk ("Fun It"), vaudeville
("Dreamer's Ball"), rock and roll ("Dead On Time") and a country-flavored stomp ("Fat Bottomed Girls").
Curiously, it contains nothing recognizable as jazz, except perhaps the music-hall swing of
"Dreamer's Ball". The album's eclecticism was alternately praised and criticised; it was subject
to a viciously scathing Rolling Stone review by Dave Marsh which included the suggestion that
"Queen may be the first truly fascist rock band." Nevertheless, the album made it to #6 on the
American Billboard 200.
The band had intended to sell the album with a poster depicting the all-female nude bicycle race
staged to promote "Fat Bottomed Girls", but in the USA it was only available through mail order
so as not to upset retailers. A small version of the poster comes with the Crown Jewels box set.
Roy Thomas Baker temporarily reunited with Queen and became their producer for this album.
It was 3 years since he co-produced Queen's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. But this album
also was the last album he co-produced for the band. Included in the liner notes is the attribution
"Thunderbolt courtesy of God", referring to the crash of thunder heard at the end of the song
"Dead On Time" which May recorded with a portable audio recorder during a thunderstorm.
The album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted
on the Berlin Wall.
