Our Take

Manny Albam's Classic Recordings from 1957 is a delightful romp through the jazz landscape, showcasing Albam's impeccable arrangements and masterful compositions. From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a world where swing reigns supreme and cool is the name of the game.

Opening track "Jive at Five" sets the tone perfectly, with its infectious groove and sizzling horn section. Albam's skill as an arranger shines through on tracks like "Blues for Kapp" and "A New Star," where he effortlessly blends traditional jazz elements with a modern twist.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this voyage through jazz history. Tracks like "Cheetah" and "Topsy" offer a glimpse into the darker, more experimental side of Albam's music, with dissonant chords and unpredictable rhythms keeping you on your toes.

Overall, Classic Recordings from 1957 is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Manny Albam's talent as a composer and arranger shines brightly on this album, proving once again why he's a true legend of the genre. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Manny Albam take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. 9.5/10
