Our Take

The ALISON BENTLEY QUARTET's latest album is a sonic playground where jazz meets whimsy meets pure genius. From start to finish, this quartet takes listeners on a journey through cascading melodies and unexpected harmonies that will make even the hippest hipster stop in their tracks.

Opening track "Swinging in the Rain" sets the tone with its infectious rhythm and playful saxophone solos that will have you tapping your feet in no time. The chemistry between Alison Bentley on piano, Ben Smith on drums, Tom Pople on saxophone, and Max Luthert on bass is undeniable, seamlessly weaving in and out of each other's musical ideas with ease.

Tracks like "Groove Gremlins" and "Funky Town" showcase the quartet's ability to meld traditional jazz with modern funk influences, creating a sound that is as fresh as it is funky. Bentley's intricate piano work shines throughout, adding depth and dimension to each composition.

But it's on the closing track, "Jazz Hands", where the ALISON BENTLEY QUARTET truly shines. This epic, eight-minute opus combines sweeping arpeggios, pulsating rhythms, and blistering solos that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

In conclusion, the ALISON BENTLEY QUARTET have crafted a masterpiece that is equal parts playful, innovative, and downright groovy. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons.
