Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of the Colin Steele Quartet diving deep into The Pearlfishers Songbook. If you're expecting to uncover some hidden treasures in this jazz interpretation, then you're in for a treat - or should I say, a pearl of a time?

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a musical underwater oasis, where smooth trumpet melodies swim effortlessly alongside intricate piano arrangements. Each track is like a precious gem, polished to perfection by Steele and his talented quartet.

The album opens with "Even On A Sunday", setting the tone for a leisurely Sunday afternoon of relaxation and smooth vibes. As the quartet transitions into "The Umbrellas of Shibuya", you can almost feel the raindrops falling gently on your skin, creating a symphony of sensations that only jazz music can evoke.

But it's not all calm seas and gentle waves - tracks like "The Picture House" and "Sunny Street" pack a playful punch, with energetic rhythms and improvisations that will have you tapping your feet and bobbing your head in delight.

Overall, Diving For Pearls is a delightful collection of jazz interpretations that sparkles with creativity and talent. So grab your snorkel and dive right in - you won't be disappointed.
