Our Take

Ah, Cyril Stapleton & His Orchestra, a name that brings to mind velvet curtains, dimly lit ballrooms, and perhaps a touch of intrigue. This self-titled album from the British bandleader offers a delightful mix of big band classics and toe-tapping originals, all performed with that signature Stapleton flair.

From the moment the first notes of the opening track hit your ears, you can't help but be transported to a bygone era of glitz and glamour. Stapleton's precise arrangements and the orchestra's tight musicianship truly shine, with each instrument weaving seamlessly in and out of the lush soundscapes.

Standout tracks like "Moonlight Serenade" and "In The Mood" showcase Stapleton's ability to breathe new life into old favorites, while original compositions like "Swingin' with Cyril" offer a fresh take on the big band sound. It's clear that Stapleton and his orchestra are seasoned pros, effortlessly swinging from one genre to the next with style and grace.

While some may dismiss big band music as a relic of the past, Cyril Stapleton & His Orchestra prove that this timeless genre still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. So grab a martini, slip into your dancing shoes, and let this album sweep you off your feet in a whirlwind of nostalgia and charm. Cheers to you, Mr. Stapleton, for keeping the spirit of swing alive and well.
