Our Take

In Ralph Towner's latest release, "Batikin British English," the legendary jazz guitarist takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the eccentricities of the English language. Towner's intricate fingerpicking style dances effortlessly across the fretboard, weaving a tapestry of sonic delight that is as charming as it is technically impressive.

From the infectious grooves of "Tea Time Tango" to the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "London Fog Lament," Towner showcases his virtuosity and versatility as a musician. His collaborations with guest artists such as saxophonist John Surman and violinist Carla Kihlstedt add depth and texture to the album, elevating it to a truly immersive listening experience.

But what truly sets "Batikin British English" apart is Towner's quirky sense of humor and playful approach to songwriting. Tracks like "Bangers and Mash Boogie" and "Pint of Bitter Blues" will have you tapping your toes and chuckling along to the witty wordplay and clever musical arrangements.

Overall, Ralph Towner's "Batikin British English" is a delightful romp through the idiosyncrasies of the English language, set to a backdrop of intricate guitar work and infectious melodies. It's a testament to Towner's enduring talent and his ability to keep listeners engaged and entertained from start to finish. So grab a cuppa, put on your best British accent, and enjoy the musical delights of this charming album. Cheers!
