Our Take

Ah, the PETE HURT JAZZ ORCHESTRA's latest masterpiece, "A New Start." A bold title for a group that's been around the block a few times, but don't let that fool you - this album is anything but a tired rehash of old ideas.

From the moment the saxophonist lets out a cheeky riff on the opening track, "Swingin' in the Rain," you know you're in for a treat. The orchestra's tight, precise playing is a joy to listen to, with every member clearly firing on all cylinders.

But it's not just technical prowess on display here - there's a sense of fun and mischief running through the album that's infectious. Tracks like "Funky Town" and "Groove is in the Heart" are guaranteed to get even the most stoic jazz aficionado tapping their foot.

And let's not forget about the album's production - crisp, clean, and full of life. Each instrument shines through with crystal clarity, creating a rich tapestry of sound that's impossible to resist.

In a genre that can sometimes feel stuffy and pretentious, the PETE HURT JAZZ ORCHESTRA are a breath of fresh air. "A New Start" is exactly that - a fresh start for a band that's been around the block, but shows no signs of slowing down. Highly recommended for jazz lovers and newcomers alike.

About the artist

Pete Hurt Jazz Orchestra

Pete Hurt Jazz Orchestra may have a name that sounds like it was plucked straight out of a 1950s detective novel, but don't be fooled by the old-school moniker. This London-based big band is anything but dated, seamlessly blending traditional jazz influences with a modern sensibility that is as refreshing as a gin and tonic on a summer day. Led by the enigmatic Pete Hurt, this orchestra is a powerhouse of talent, featuring some of the most skilled musicians in the UK jazz scene. With a line-up that includes saxes, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section that swings harder than Tarzan, they create a sound that is as bold and brassy as it is sophisticated. Their latest album, "Swingin' in the Rain," is a delicious concoction of toe-tapping tunes and soul-stirring ballads that will transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Soho. From the infectious energy of "Jumpin' Jive" to the melancholic beauty of "Midnight in Paris," every track is a testament to the orchestra's versatility and virtuosity. But what truly sets Pete Hurt Jazz Orchestra apart is their live performances. Whether they're playing to a sold-out crowd at Ronnie Scott's or serenading the late-night revellers at a hidden speakeasy, their passion and charisma on stage are infectious. So, grab your fedora and feather boa, because Pete Hurt Jazz Orchestra is here to make you swing, swoon, and shout for more.
