DESCRIPTION:
One of the wonderful series of twelve songs of the Duke Special album based on the lost films of silent movie star Hector Mann. Duke asked eleven singer/songwriter friends to write a song each based on the films. "Jumping Jacks" is Ed Harcourt's delightful contribution, in which Hector plays the part of a rather seedy travelling salesman in 1920's America. Lovely performance by Duke and suited to the historic setting of Wilton's Music Hall, London.
