Our Take

The latest offering from the Church Alley Irregulars, aptly titled "Reprise," is a delightful romp through the musical landscape of traditional jazz. Brian Carrick and Norman Thatcherin have crafted a truly unique sound that blends elements of ragtime, blues, and Dixieland into a toe-tapping, head-bobbing experience.

From the opening notes of "Stomp Along Sally" to the closing strains of "Swingin' in the Rain," this album is a masterclass in old-school charm and infectious energy. Carrick's deft clarinet work dances and swirls around Thatcherin's lively piano accompaniment, creating a dynamic interplay that is simply mesmerising.

Tracks like "Jazzin' for Joy" and "Bluesy Bop" showcase the duo's formidable musicianship, with Carrick's nimble fingers and Thatcherin's nimble feet weaving intricate melodies and rhythms that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes in no time. And let's not forget the infectious energy of the live recorded tracks, where the Church Alley Irregulars really come into their own, engaging in lively banter and improvisation that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

In short, "Reprise" is a joyous celebration of the timeless appeal of traditional jazz, brought to life by two seasoned pros who clearly love what they do. So pour yourself a drink, kick off your shoes, and let the music of the Church Alley Irregulars transport you to a bygone era of swinging sounds and good times. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
