Our Take

Ah, finally, a jazz album that serves up more surprises than a magician at a children's party. Logan Strosahl and his Team have crafted a mesmerizing journey through the mystical world of Arthurian legend with "Book I Of Arthur.” It’s like they sprinkled some jazz magic on Excalibur and turned it into a saxophone.

The album kicks off with "The Lady of the Lake," a swirl of haunting melodies and intricate rhythms that will have you feeling like you've been transported to Camelot. Strosahl's saxophone playing is nothing short of spellbinding, weaving in and out of the eclectic mix of instruments like a master storyteller.

Tracks like "The Sword in the Stone" and "Merlin's Magic" showcase the band's incredible improvisational skills, with each member taking turns to shine like a diamond in the rough. It’s like a jam session in King Arthur's court, complete with jazzy knights and funky minstrels.

But don't let the medieval theme fool you – this album is as fresh and modern as a hipster's avocado toast. Strosahl and his Team effortlessly blend traditional jazz elements with avant-garde experimentation, creating a sound that is both familiar and groundbreaking.

Overall, "Book I Of Arthur" is a triumph of imagination and musical skill. It's a sonic adventure that will leave you enchanted and craving for more. So grab your sword, don your crown, and dive into this jazz odyssey fit for a king. Verdict: 9.5/10, it’s a bloody masterpiece, innit.
