Our Take

Ah yes, the legendary Count Basie & His Orchestra gracing our ears once again with their iconic album "April in Paris."

From the moment the first note hits, you can't help but be transported to the romantic streets of the City of Light. The swinging rhythms and smooth melodies are like a breath of fresh air, lifting your spirits higher than the Eiffel Tower itself.

The orchestra's impeccable timing and intricate arrangements are a testament to their years of experience in the industry. Each instrument dances elegantly around the other, creating a harmonious blend that is simply mesmerising.

The title track, "April in Paris," is a standout gem, with its jaunty brass sections and infectious groove. It's like taking a stroll down the Champs-Élysées on a sunny spring day, with a croissant in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other.

But don't let the Parisian charm fool you - this album has depth and complexity that will keep you coming back for more. Tracks like "Corner Pocket" and "Shiny Stockings" showcase the orchestra's versatility and range, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz.

Overall, "April in Paris" is a dazzling display of talent and artistry that will make you want to grab a beret and start booking your next holiday to France. Count Basie & His Orchestra have truly outdone themselves with this masterpiece. Bravissimo!
