Our Take

The second volume of American Standards from the Claes Crona Trio and Scott Hamilton is like taking a musical journey back in time, but with a modern twist. Hamilton's smooth saxophone playing glides effortlessly over Crona's piano accompaniment, creating a sound that is both classic and fresh.

From the toe-tapping swing of "All of Me" to the nostalgic romance of "The Nearness of You," this album is a delightful throwback to the golden age of jazz. Hamilton's rich, velvety tone is the perfect complement to Crona's crisp, lively piano work, resulting in a truly dynamic musical partnership.

But don't be fooled by the traditional sound of these American standards – the Claes Crona Trio and Scott Hamilton inject plenty of their own personality and flair into each track. Their playful interpretation of classics like "It Had to Be You" and "What a Wonderful World" shows that they are not afraid to put their own spin on timeless tunes.

Overall, American Standards Vol. 2 is a joyous celebration of the music that defined an era. With its infectious energy and undeniable charm, this album is sure to bring a smile to your face and a skip to your step. So sit back, relax, and let the Claes Crona Trio and Scott Hamilton take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
