Our Take

It’s time to grab your dancing shoes and dive into the swinging world of Woody Herman & His Orchestra with their 1937 release, "Band That Plays The Blues". This album is a delightful jaunt through the world of big band jazz, with Herman’s iconic clarinet leading the charge.

From the moment you press play, you’re transported back to the smoky jazz clubs of the 1930s, where the brass blares and the rhythm section grooves. Tracks like “Blues In The Night” and “After Hours” showcase the band’s impeccable sense of timing and dynamic range, with each member getting a chance to shine.

Herman’s clarinet playing is nothing short of mesmerising, weaving in and out of the melodies with ease and finesse. It’s no wonder he became known as the “Pied Piper of Swing” – one listen to his solos and you’ll be hooked.

The album isn’t afraid to mix things up, with tracks like “Woodchopper’s Ball” throwing in a dash of boogie woogie to keep things fresh. And let’s not forget the vocal stylings of Woody himself, adding a touch of crooner charm to the proceedings.

Overall, "Band That Plays The Blues" is a rollicking good time from start to finish, perfect for both jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Woody Herman & His Orchestra take you on a swingin’ journey through the blues. Cheers to that!
