Our Take

Mitch Woods has truly tipped his hat to the legendary Fats Waller on his latest album, aptly titled "A Tip of the Hat to Fats." Injecting his own fun and quirky personality into each track, Woods effortlessly channels the spirit of Waller while still putting his own modern twist on the classic sound.

From the moment you press play, you'll find yourself transported back to the golden age of jazz, where pianos were fast and furiously played, and the horns never failed to get your feet tapping. Woods' infectious energy is contagious, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the jubilant atmosphere he creates.

Tracks like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Ain't Misbehavin'" showcase Woods' exceptional piano skills, while his smooth vocals add a touch of charm to every lyric. The guest appearances from talented musicians only add to the album's richness, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience from start to finish.

While some may argue that paying homage to a legend like Fats Waller is a risky move, Woods pulls it off with finesse, capturing the essence of Waller's music while also making it his own. "A Tip of the Hat to Fats" is a delightful tribute to one of jazz's greats, and Woods' playful approach makes it a joy to listen to. So go ahead, tip your own hat to Mitch Woods and give this album a spin - you won't be disappointed.
