Our Take

Jolly good, old chaps and chapettes! Can you believe we've stumbled upon the jazziest of jams at Pizzaexpress Live in London? Ian Shaw and Tony Kofi have joined forces to honour the legends that are Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington with their latest album, "An Adventurous Dream."

From the very first note, it's like being transported back to the swinging 60s, with Shaw's smooth vocals and Kofi's killer saxophone skills. These cats really know how to bring a classic tune to life, injecting a modern twist while staying true to the original spirit of the music.

Tracks like "Take the A Train" and "Satin Doll" are given a fresh new lease on life, with Shaw's playful phrasing and Kofi's virtuosic solos keeping things interesting throughout. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, with each musician pushing the other to new heights with their improvisation and musical daring. It's like watching a pair of Olympic athletes, but with more saxophones and less lycra.

So, grab yourself a martini (shaken, not stirred) and let Ian Shaw and Tony Kofi take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. This album is a delightful romp through the classics, with just the right amount of wit and charm to keep you coming back for more. Cheers, darlings – this one's a corker!
