Our Take

Ah, the JOE HARRIOTT Quintet, the unsung heroes of the jazz world. This latest album is a kaleidoscopic journey through the myriad influences that have shaped their sound over the years. From the frenetic energy of bebop to the sultry tones of bossa nova, this album has it all.

Harriott's saxophone soars and dives with a fluidity that is truly mesmerizing. The interplay between the band members is a tightrope walk of musical telepathy, with each musician adding their own unique flavour to the mix. It's like a musical potluck where everyone brings their A-game.

The standout track has to be "Harriott's Dream," a sprawling epic that takes you on a sonic rollercoaster ride. The intricate rhythms and dynamic shifts keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering where the music will take you next. It's a masterpiece of composition and performance that showcases the quintet's boundless creativity.

Overall, this album is a triumph of innovation and skill. The JOE HARRIOTT Quintet has once again proven why they are a force to be reckoned with in the jazz world. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
