Jimmy Luxury Work Group, Sony Music Distribution.

on A Night in the Arms O. .Jimmy Once and the Vips - Stormy weather.

That's the scene of a video shoot for Jimmy Luxury and the Tommy Rome orchestra, a raucous hip hop band based out of Philadelphia, PA and sunny San Francisco. Jimmy, real name James Kelleher, is an amped up transplant from Brockton, Massachusetts who spent his first four years in San Francisco getting fired from a string of bar-backing and floor-mopping jobs in Mission neighborhood bars doesn't play into the flavor-of-the-month concept. The samples on the album, despite most of them being over forty years old, sound surprisingly fresh. Beneath and between the swinging latin grooves, an outrageous array of layered scratches, found sounds, and hip-hop and funk vocal samples interweave.

Tommy is a 1972 album, based on the original 1969 album by The Who, featuring the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Measham, of arrangements by Wil Malone. The project was conceived by Lou Reizner, initially with Rod Stewart singing Roger Daltrey's main role. As Pete Townshend and Daltrey became more involved, Stewart's role was reduced to singing "Pinball Wizard".
