Our Take

Bud Freeman and Alex Welsh's collaboration is like a wild party in a stuffy library – unexpected, but undeniably entertaining.

Freeman's crisp and soulful saxophone perfectly weaves with Welsh's dynamic trumpet, creating a vibrant and infectious sound that is impossible to resist. From the swinging rhythms of "Swanee River" to the tender balladry of "Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)," this album is a testament to the enduring power of classic jazz.

But what truly sets this album apart is the palpable chemistry between Freeman and Welch. Their musical dialogue is like a witty banter between old friends, each note bouncing off the other with effortless precision. It's a joy to witness two virtuosos at the top of their game, pushing each other to new heights of creativity and expression.

With its toe-tapping melodies and soul-stirring solos, Bud Freeman With Alex Welsh is a masterclass in the art of jazz improvisation. So grab a cocktail, kick back, and let these two musical maestros take you on a whirlwind journey through the golden age of swing. You won't be disappointed. Trust us, this album is the bee's knees.
