The Jive Kings were a PEI Jazz band in the late 1990s and early 2000s consisting of Michael Ross, Mark Parsons, Jonathan MacInnis, Barrie Sorensen, Bob Nicholson, Perry Williams, Deryl Gallant, and Alan Dowling. In 1999 the Jive Kings released their album “Spoon for a Knife” for which they received the East Coast Music Award for Best Jazz Group of the Year in 2000.
The donor of this object recalls listening to this CD repeatedly as a child during the winter of 2000, to the point that their parents threatened to throw the CD outside. A compromise was made and the CD was only allowed to be played in the donor's bedroom.
