Jazz

One of my personal favorites, though it seems some would not agree… ( DAVE MARSH (Posted: Feb 8, 1979) ). Jazz was the band’s seventh studio album, and shows Freddie’s diversity by using a number of different styles of music. They include disco-funk (“Fun It”), vaudeville (“Dreamer’s Ball”), hard rock (“Dead On Time”) and a country-flavored stomp (“Fat Bottomed Girls” (one of my all time fav’s!)). To promote “Fat Bottomed Girls”, the band had intended to sell the album with a poster depicting the all-female nude bicycle race, but in the USA it was only available through mail order. A small version of the poster comes with the Crown Jewels box set. Two side notes… first album recorded outside of the UK… and Roy Thomas Baker produced… his last for the group.
