Our Take

Shelly Manne's "Checkmate" is a delightful romp through the world of jazz with a touch of whimsy and class. From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky jazz club where the martinis are flowing and the saxophones are wailing. Manne's drumming is simply sensational, providing the perfect backbone for this eclectic album. His rhythms are so tight, you could bounce a coin off of them. The way he effortlessly switches between tempos and styles is a testament to his skill and experience in the jazz world. The rest of the band is no slouch either. The piano tinkles like a champagne glass, the bass grooves like a old-school Cadillac, and the horns soar like a flock of seagulls. Each musician brings their A-game to the table, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both timeless and fresh. Tracks like "Queen's Gambit" and "Knight's Errand" showcase Manne's versatility as a musician, effortlessly blending traditional jazz elements with a modern twist. It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a raucous Friday night. Overall, "Checkmate" is a joy to listen to from start to finish. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a casual listener, this album is sure to please. So pour yourself a drink, sit back, and let Shelly Manne take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
