Our Take

Ah, the Winds of Change are blowing through the jazz scene once again, and this time it's courtesy of the Jim McNeely Trio. This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking listeners on a journey through intricate melodies and soul-stirring improvisation.

McNeely's piano playing is nothing short of mesmerising, with each note dripping with emotion and skill. His ability to blend traditional jazz elements with modern twists is truly a sight to behold, making for a listening experience that is as refreshing as a pint of beer on a hot summer day.

The rhythm section, comprised of John Goldsby on bass and Hans Dekker on drums, is equally impressive. Goldsby's melodic bass lines provide the perfect foundation for McNeely's piano wizardry, while Dekker's drumming adds a sense of urgency and excitement to each track.

Tracks like "A Gentle Zephyr" and "Whirlwind Waltz" showcase the trio's versatility and creativity, with each member getting a chance to shine in the spotlight. It's evident that these three musicians have a deep connection with each other, as their musical rapport is nothing short of telepathic.

Overall, Winds of Change is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to be swept away by a tornado of talent and creativity. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let the Jim McNeely Trio serenade you with their enchanting melodies. Cheers!
