Our Take
Our Take
Colin Steele is diving deep into the musical waters with his latest album, "Diving For Pearls - Jazz Interpretations Of The Pearlfishers Songbook". This Scottish trumpeter is no stranger to the jazz scene, and his quartet brings a fresh and lively take on the Pearlfishers' catalog.
From the opening track, "Even on a Sunday", Steele's trumpet shines brightly, leading the listener on a musical journey through the depths of the Pearlfishers' discography. The quartet's tight arrangements and playful improvisations give new life to tracks like "The Umbrellas of Shibuya" and "Pearly Gates".
The highlight of the album comes in the form of "Love & Other Worlds", a dreamy ballad that showcases Steele's lyrical and emotive playing. The quartet's interplay on this track is like a smooth ballet, each member dancing around the melody with grace and precision.
Throughout "Diving For Pearls", Steele and his quartet strike a perfect balance between homage and innovation. They pay tribute to the Pearlfishers' songbook while also putting their own unique stamp on each track. This album is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and Pearlfishers fans alike.
In a sea of mediocrity, Colin Steele and his quartet are a shining pearl. Dive in and discover the treasures that await you in this musical underwater world. Dive deep, my friends, dive deep.
