Our Take

Oh, darling, have you heard the latest from the legendary trombonist, Urbie Green? His Complete 1956-1959 Recordings are a delightful time capsule of a bygone era, where jazz was swinging, and the martinis were flowing like water.

From the upbeat tempos of "Urbie Green Blues" to the sultry vibes of "Something's Gotta Give," this album transports you back to a time when music was smooth, sophisticated, and oh-so chic. Green's virtuosity on the trombone is truly something to behold, with each note dripping with style and swagger.

One standout track, "Senor Blues," is a Latin-infused masterpiece that will have you tapping your toes and swaying your hips in no time. The horn arrangements are tight, the rhythm section is on fire, and Green's solo will leave you breathless.

But it's not all uptempo numbers and flashy solos on this album. Green also knows how to slow it down and tug at your heartstrings with tracks like "Lover Man" and "Blue and Sentimental." His tone is velvety smooth, his phrasing is impeccable, and his musicality is simply out of this world.

In conclusion, Urbie Green's Complete 1956-1959 Recordings is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. So grab a cocktail, put on your smoking jacket, and let yourself be transported to a time when music was cool, classy, and oh-so intoxicating. Cheers, darling!
