Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine were to review JIM SHEARER's album "Cloud Bowling With Claude Bolling: Music For Tuba And Jazz Trio," it might go a little something like this:

Prepare to be transported to a world where tubas reign supreme and jazz is king. JIM SHEARER's latest opus is a whimsical journey through the clouds, where the tuba takes center stage and commands attention with its low, rumbling tones.

From the opening track, "Cloud Bowling," you can sense the playful energy that permeates this album. The tuba takes on a life of its own, bowling through the clouds with precision and grace. Joined by the smooth stylings of the jazz trio, led by the legendary Claude Bolling, each track unfolds like a story waiting to be told.

Tracks like "Rainbow Bounce" and "Swingin' in the Rain" showcase SHEARER's mastery of the tuba, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of intricate jazz melodies with finesse. The chemistry between the tuba and the jazz trio is undeniable, creating a sound that is both adventurous and harmonious.

"Cloud Bowling With Claude Bolling" is a testament to the power of music to transport and inspire. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be swept away by the whimsical magic of JIM SHEARER's tuba-driven jazz odyssey. You won't be disappointed.
