Our Take

Ah, the swinging sounds of British Modern Jazz from the early 60s - truly a time when musicians were pushing boundaries and creating new sonic landscapes. This compilation of singles, EPs, and rarities from 1960-62 gives us a glimpse into a vibrant and exciting era in the UK jazz scene.

From the smooth saxophone solos to the frenetic drum beats, each track on this album is a gem in its own right. Artists like Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, and Joe Harriott showcase their unparalleled talent and innovation in every note played. The energy and creativity on display here is truly infectious, making it impossible to sit still while listening.

One standout track is "Blues for Del", a soulful and emotive piece that perfectly captures the essence of the time period. The subtle nuances in the instrumentation and tight, cohesive playing demonstrate a level of musicianship that is simply unmatched.

Overall, British Modern Jazz - Singles, EPs & Rarities 1960-62 is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to expand their musical horizons. With its eclectic mix of styles and genres, this album is a testament to the richness and diversity of the British jazz scene during this era. So grab your beret, kick back with a cup of tea, and let the music transport you to a bygone era of cool cat vibes and groovy tunes. Cheers, mate!
