Our Take

Shelly Manne & His Men have taken their audience on a raucous ride through the smoky depths of The Black Hawk with their latest album, Volume 1. This collection of live recordings captures the energy and camaraderie of a late-night jam session, complete with plenty of cheeky banter and impressive solos.

Manne's drumming is as tight as ever, driving the band with a relentless energy that keeps the crowd on their toes. His Men (and one woman!) are no slouches either, with each member delivering their own unique flair to the mix. From the sultry saxophone licks to the rollicking piano riffs, there's never a dull moment on this album.

The standout track has to be "Swingin' the Blues," a toe-tapping number that perfectly encapsulates the vibe of a steamy night at The Black Hawk. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member seamlessly riffing off one another to create a sound that is both cohesive and infectious.

Overall, Shelly Manne & His Men have knocked it out of the park with Volume 1. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject a bit of swing into their music collection. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of The Black Hawk transport you to a bygone era of jazz magic. Cheers, darling.
