Our Take

BUCK CLAYTON: All The Cats Join In / How Hi The Fi / Blue Moon

Buck Clayton's triple whammy of swingin' albums is a reminder of a bygone era when jazz was king and cats were cool. All The Cats Join In kicks things off with a bang, showcasing Clayton's signature trumpet skills alongside a stellar lineup of musicians. From the toe-tapping title track to the smooth grooves of "Blue Skies", this album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado.

How Hi The Fi keeps the party going with its high-energy numbers and infectious enthusiasm. Clayton's inventive arrangements and scorching solos will have you bopping along from start to finish. Standout tracks like "On The Alamo" and "Hawk Eyes" are sure to get your heart racing and your feet moving.

Closing out the trio is Blue Moon, a mellow and introspective collection of ballads that showcase Clayton's sensitive side. Tracks like "Willow Weep For Me" and "I Can't Get Started" are a masterclass in emotional storytelling, with Clayton's trumpet evoking a sense of longing and melancholy.

Overall, Buck Clayton's All The Cats Join In / How Hi The Fi / Blue Moon is a timeless collection that reminds us why jazz is the ultimate form of musical expression. So grab a cocktail, dim the lights, and let Buck Clayton transport you to a world where cool cats reign supreme. 9.5/10.
