Gaillard was one of those utter vaudevillian types whose nonsense possessed an utter brilliancy. Creator of his own scat dialect of several languages, coining phrases in such hit songs as “Boip! Boip!” (often with his partner, bassist Slam Stewart), Gaillard was so silly that, like Louis Armstrong until recently, his infectious genius was occasionally overlooked. His work for Verve, spanning the turn of the 1950s, was mostly re-recordings of earlier hits, such as the title track and “Chicken Rhythm”. They are better sounding than the originals, but perhaps a touch less necessary. Still, any Gaillard is like a good meal, and Gaillard was positively food-obsessed—other songs include “Potato Chips” and “Mazto Balls” (not included in this smaltz, alas).—D. Strauss
