Our Take

Step right up, jazz cats and kittens, because we've got a swingin' extravaganza on our hands with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, the Trinity College Big Band, and Bobby Lamb in Concert Impressions. This album is a veritable feast for the ears, blending the classic big band sound of Kenton with the youthful energy of Trinity College and the virtuosic trumpet stylings of Lamb.

From the opening track, "Take the 'A' Train," it's clear that this is no ordinary jazz concert. The brass blares, the drums thump, and the saxophones wail, creating a cacophony of sound that is simply irresistible. Kenton's signature blend of intricate arrangements and bombastic solos is on full display here, with each musician getting their moment to shine.

But it's not just about the old guard - the Trinity College Big Band brings a fresh perspective to the proceedings, injecting a dose of modernity into the mix. Their take on classics like "In the Mood" and "Stompin' at the Savoy" is both respectful of the tradition and daring in its reinterpretation.

And let's not forget about Bobby Lamb, whose trumpet playing is nothing short of extraordinary. His solos are wild, unpredictable, and utterly thrilling, taking the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and virtuosity.

In conclusion, Concert Impressions is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. So grab your fedora, pour yourself a martini, and settle in for a night of pure musical magic. You won't be disappointed.
